You and I have a lot in common. I would love to have a place such as yours so I could "spread out", but it doesn't look like that's possible for me. I do have a quarter acre and try to do the most I can with it. I can't have any farm-type animals but do have a cute Shih-tzu that loves me. I garden a lot, mostly flowers with some veggies. Glad to have found you.

I even have hazelnut bushes that had nuts last fall!!!!I had never seen those nuts before, right on the bush! I've grown redbuds. They are very pretty in the spring. You might want to have a cage around all your little babies until they get big. My redbuds are a little finiky, but I'll bet you won't have problems where you live.<br />I am so interested in your Bonsai trees! Hoping they will flourish!Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982370018359352543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-87636346166985152912018-01-11T02:58:23.218-08:002018-01-11T02:58:23.218-08:00First, thank you for the marvelous picture.

I am so interested to see if your Bonsai trees survive and to see how you work with them. PLEASE report progress when it happens.<br /><br />I love flowering trees and wish I lived where Camellia Bush and Crepe Myrtle could survive. I have to settle for Lilac, dogwood or Wisteria.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-90401169379935678052018-01-10T19:43:22.833-08:002018-01-10T19:43:22.833-08:00This was so interesting Kathleen!

Then in late summer there are red, marble-sized fruits on it. I hope you're successful with the little trees. And, I'm glad time has healed your spirits and you're embroidering again. Also, thanks so much for checking in on me and leaving your sweet comments; I'm o.k. and maybe will post again soon.lil red henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494641068959278096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-41537406401101313752018-01-10T19:08:03.941-08:002018-01-10T19:08:03.941-08:00It's so nice to see you're posting again a...It's so nice to see you're posting again and feeling better about things.

We all go through our own times of self-pity and there is nothing "wrong" with those feelings. So glad that your spirits have been lifted up a bit. I have heard about the Arbor Foundation and when we were in VA, there were also some tree giveaways, which is how we got some Leland Cypresses that we planted in the yard and they are very tall now and still in VA. I hope your trees will survive in your shop. I also never knew how complicated growing a bonsai plant could be and will be looking forward to seeing the results some time in the future. The needlework is as lovely as ever.Beatrice P.

Unfortunately, lost the dogwood and now I see the huge camellia bush didn't bloom this year. Lots of buds, no blooms. <br /><br />Take care! Good to see you.<br />xoxoSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865722713732049339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-81705735929305474602018-01-10T14:25:32.638-08:002018-01-10T14:25:32.638-08:00Beautiful sunset photo!

Dogwood, not sure but some down here have a lovely perfumed flower, and what we call crepe myrtle ( it can be crape myrtle too) have crinkly mauve or other coloured flowers, and are truly stunning. The ones I have seen here are deciduous. I think your plan to care for them is really worthwhile, and they will have a head start for a lifetime of beauty.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.com
