Fall Flowers

Fall had finally arrived, month(s) of no rain this last weekend it poured buckets and the wind blew.  The bird bath is filled with rain water.   The grass is turning green again and fire season is over.  

Mother nature is wearing my colors.  GO BEAVS!

The sunflowers are done 

The flowers have all been blown over 

I was able to get out to pick flowers and get together a few arrangements during the sun breaks for 3 Cups Coffee

This one can either be for Halloween or my favorite Oregon State Beavers.  It is mostly orange with dark purple almost black accent flowers and foliages.  Most of the girls at the coffee shop went to WSU so I'm low key on the OSU.

What the rain brings

Inside the greenhouse   Lilies wait

Sunflowers coming up everywhere

Never ever leave your rake like this.  I stepped on it and it came back with quite a punch in the face.

Wew, what a trip

A friend and I journeyed out this morning to Clackamas, which is about at two hour drive to pick up lily bulbs and crates.  How many crates can you fit in a minivan?  45.  I am so excited to start to plant.

Lily bulbs just waiting to be planted

Oh, and we stopped at a nursery and picked up a few things we shoved between the bulb crates.  Look at this beautiful Hellebore.

While I was gone my husband put on the first layer of plastic on the greenhouse.  If weather permits maybe the second layer tomorrow and a door.  We had .46 " of rain in the last 24 hours and more to come.  I guess we only need a third of an inch of rain for it to be the wettest March on record... yah hoo...

New Greenhouse Is Here

My long awaited 20' X 60' greenhouse finally arrived Thursday.   The weather is not cooperating, it hailed three times today and the wind is very strong.  So, it will probably be next weekend when it gets put up.

Tulips from years back

I have dreamed about all the beautiful flowers I will grow undercover.  My order of Kordes roses will be here soon and I will have to really work hard to get the beds made up for them.
