December Bloom Day

Well, it's bloom day once again..  If you aren't familiar with bloom day, it is where garden bloggers from around the world post what it blooming in their garden on the 15th of each month.  They post it on May Dreams Gardens.  I invite you to visit it.
This bloom day is a sad thing for me, drought, early freezes, and just lack of motivation...the good news is....plants survive on their own....but I have very little to show.... the camellias are blooming....and the azaleas are trying......I did not plant rye grass this year, and I wish I had...it goes with the saying, you don't know what you got, until it's gone.... some of the pictures a camera dump, which I have been pruning various plants, some of this is just pictures ...that were in my camera during winter maintenance.....I hope for a better year next year....in any event, happy bloom day!


Cut down plants the I have cut many times but not the stumps.


Weeds around he sundial

Heavy prune of the bottle brushes



The weeds are sure to bloom.


Not sure what kind of camellias these are but I only have this one tree.




My husband is making great headway on the greenhouse which has taken a great deal overhaul.

Alabama beauty is still blooming....

My Camera Dump Winter

For some stupid reason, I get into this loop...if that I don't journal I can't garden....this winter I want not to do what I did last winter....not garden, because I don't journal..the journal is important but so is my gardening...I didn't like the distractions of this past year, but I love beginning again....when you give up, you lose...so please forgive me..I want to be as productive or at least more productive....I may continue to camera dump until....well, I don't know....am I proud about that, no...but I believe, do something........and the blog is vitally important as reference....but I wish for a new inspiration in my motivation...so for a while forgive me, if I camera dump for a while...
