That window actually gets NO sunlight. It's shaded all the time. The only light it gets is from inside. The window is a "garden" window but it juts out onto an always-shady porch against a hillside.

That will put Spring back in her place. Annabelle definitely looks more than a mite miffed at being left behind. SHE doesn't know she isn't a dog! Hmm, I think I'll have spinach for supper - but unfortunately it will have to be store-bought canned. :sheep: :purpleflower: I know Coco’s plan – she’s going to jump up on Spring with her muddy paws!

Allow me to box up some ALLERGIES and send them to you. That's what spring always brings me. Spring is here in Texas. Allow me to box up some ALLERGIES and send them to you.

I was checking out your fall experiences and your emthasis on canned goods in the window. I worry that you probably shouldn't use any of these since they've had so much exposure. Glass tends to have a chemical reaction to sunlight when exposed for long periods. Please ask your neighbors with much more canning experience than myself what they think. I wonder if that's why little mammaw (my great grandmother), always stored her jars in the cellar. Suzanne,

I scrapbook, and I just loved the story your pictures told! Your second picture of Coco is funny--with the ears sticking straight up, I wasn't even sure it was him at first! Thanks for the picture of Quince--we had a ratty bush of that when we moved here that we took out, and I couldn't recall what it was called, as I want to find a replacement bush. This was my grandparents house, and when I was a kid I remember all the flowering bushes that were here. Of course that was a long,long time ago, and much died off over the years. Loved this post!

I saw on tv, where they had a Great Pyrenes dog up for adoption, at the animal shelter and it was HUGE - they kept calling it a horse and it was 4. LOL Love to see the blooms and Spinach...that would be fun, not to mention deliscious!!!!! Fresh food. I can't even get my husband to build me a Potager garden. LOL He said there is alot of work involved and I would not get out at 100 plus degrees with 95 percent humidity and pull weeds, ect. - he would have to do it. (and he doesn't even know how tee he he). Isn’t Coco the cutest thing and Dukie!!!!!
