Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday, Friends 🌱

An orangey pink rose with multiple layers of petals blooms against green foliage. This is Sweet Mademoiselle. Disease resistant, fragrant, but also a favorite of deer so I have to keep it "caged."

Timeline cleanse.
When this was a tiny village and I didn't know whether I wanted to try yet another social media experience, @julesk.me made me feel welcome and like there were actual people here. I just bought Dear Little Dog a present from her site. Please take a look:

A small reddish brown dog with a heart shaped white mark on her forehead, sits on her favorite fluffy green blanket on the couch.

White woodland aster for #TinyFlowerTuesday 🌱

Tiny white daisy like flowers with yellow centers are everywhere on the edge of the woods right now. This is white woodland aster.

Greta Knits @gretaknits.bsky.social · 1d

Aren't they though! Such a delightful way to close out the season!

Terrific TWOsday to you, Friends 🌱#bloomscrolling #glimmer #dahlia

Two large pinkish purple dahlias in a glass vase on the edge of the still mostly green woodland.

I concur with the advice from threeacrefarm.net which is that it depends where you are and what sort of storage you have. I went with a cardboard box, vermiculite, and a temperature controlled pump house, protected from "varmints." Your best bet is your local extension agent, they are a treasure!

Thank you kindly 😊I actually gasped! Wasn't expecting them for a few weeks 🤷‍♀️

Oh you are so welcome! Once you have the set up, it is incredibly soothing to knit because you just look one stitch ahead! 🫶🏻

The first camellia blossom for #MagentaMonday 🌱

A magenta camellia blossom, the first of the season, has just bloomed. This is 'April Tryst.'

Oh, chenille is very finicky, tension wise. If you can get some good quality wool you'll have a much better experience!

Greta Knits @gretaknits.bsky.social · 2d

Hooray! It is such a meditative activity for me 😊
