have a gleaming holiday!
WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS, Jack and I do, though we are by no means dashing through the snow on a one-horse open sleigh over here. More stuck in the mud this week (which I suppose will now freeze up into a charming washboard that makes driving this dirt road, shall we say, very interesting). The upcycled ornament wreath above is by Pam Kueber, the queen of Retro Renovation [dot] com and a mad thrifter, crafter and all-round pal. It was her handmade holiday gift hot-glued just for me, and that’s the idea, isn’t it? To share bright moments, up close and personal. May your holiday positively gleam, and be loaded with light.

December 24, 2013 at 9:44 amMerry Christmas, Margaret! FB has been limiting your posts and this is the first I’ve seen in ages, and I just don’t seem to sit down and read e-mail anymore. ANYWAY, I have a new website to follow and total wreath envy. Thank you for all the good you bring to the world!

December 30, 2013 at 12:28 amHi Margaret and Jack – between this blog and your fabulous book “and I shall have some peace there” (here??) I feel like I know you.
I was so upset when your King Bullfrog got eaten! Ah, the savagery of the wild. Thank goodness it wasn’t Jack that did that! Did you ever figure out where the 5 bullfrogs went? How is the one left behind doing? The green frogs treating her ok? (Whatever that kind of treatment looks like… here madam, you may have this fly..) I’m hoping to find out what happend with your fox and coyote urine “treatment” and how Herb is doing… Also, if those poor birds keep slamming into your window, can’t you hang some wind chimes or strings suspended out from the window…or put something on the window so they can SEE it?? Just sayin’
But I am loving your book! This weekend: email and Margaret’s book. Period. ! Looking forward to Garden Parables – of which you have many in “peace” also I have noticed, BTW. : -))
Thanks for many enjoyable hours……….
