Tribute to Lola, my Sago Palm
Posted at 11:09 pm
May 19thLola, my Sago Palm, had a rough winter. The cold and the snow damaged all her leaves. Last year she didn’t put forth any new growth so I was little bit concerned this spring. I gave her some coffee grounds and apparently that was just the jolt she needed.

Not Quite Spring

Mar 12th
Some flowers that helped me through the winter months; hellebores, violas, rosemary, dusty miller and some kale. The little jam pot is Torquay pottery made from the red clay found along the Devon coast of England. There’s a lot to be sad about these days. This beautiful song by Moby, This Was Never Meant For Us is cathartic for me. -
First Flowers of 2026

Jan 27th
I love the colours of this little Czech creamer. I filled it with some hellebores and pansies from the garden. It made such a lovely arrangement that it was worthy of two video tributes. One a bit sad, with photos taken at night in the bedroom with the song “Ne Me Quitte Pas” by Nina Simone. The second more happy, photos taken in the sunny kitchen, with the song “Feuille d’Automne” by Indila.
