Blog Material

On January 18, 2022March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard10 Comments

One thing about it, there’s always blog material. Just like germs, (with thanks to the wisdom of a seventh grader from days gone by), there’s blog material everywhere. With that in mind, I went out in the back yard to check the plants. Since it had been raining the previous week, everything was nice and …

Just Add Water, Part 4

On June 12, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard7 Comments

It has occurred to me since I wrote "Just Add Water", Parts 1, 2, and 3, (which mainly focused on my "garden sphere experiments"), that this title would work just as well for a post about the back yard plants. Yes, I have realized that if you want plants to grow properly, you have to …

I Found a Tree (Again)

On April 28, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard5 Comments

If you've read "I Found a Tree", you'll recognize this picture. It's the bottlebrush tree that has been in my yard since 1992. It's the same tree, you remember, that was overtaken by volunteer bushes, which turned into trees under our very noses. For more info on this, see "A Bush Grows in Fresno". So …

A Look Out the Window

On February 6, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard15 Comments

"So, what's out there?" Panda's question put an end to my reverie. I had been so absorbed in looking at the back yard that I'd forgotten all about him. "Well," I responded. "It's looking pretty good out there. I think it might almost be spring." "Oh, does this mean the groundhog did or didn't see …

Consider the Lilies

On April 24, 2020May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard9 Comments

"Consider the lilies of the field..." Or, in my case, the succulents of the back yard! The message of these words, as most of you know, is that we should trust God to take care of us, and not stress over the future. I realize that in the day we are living in, that may …

Whimsical Garden Part 5

On May 23, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

Let me begin by saying... My bottlebrush tree is doing much better since the day I "found" it.In March, I trimmed the bush/tree next to it as far back as I could, so the bottlebrush would have more room to grow.However, we do need a bit of "truth in blogging" before we get too far...I …

Whimsical Flowers

On November 5, 2017March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

Awhile back, at the end of "Pets in Space", I mentioned that maybe I would do a "Whimsical Flowers" post sometime. And, in keeping with the fact that this is after all supposed to be an "art-related" blog, I probably should do an occasional  art-related post. Here you see an example of the classic whimsical …

More Whimsy

On September 29, 2016March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

Since whimsical always makes you feel better, it's time for some more pictures. These are mostly from 2011 and 2012, but there are a few recent ones as well. What started out to be a page of flowers turned into Bears' Wedding. I also used this for a wedding card for some friends in 2012. Heart and …

A Real Life Whimsical Garden

On July 25, 2016May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

A friend of mine has what I consider a real life whimsical garden. She has a very small area to work with but has done an incredible job making this tiny space into a whimsical wonderland. Here are some pictures of her garden, followed by some more "whimsical garden" drawings. Do you see the similarities? …

In the Beginning…

On July 22, 2016May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

This post will give you an idea of how artwork can help you get through an uncomfortable time in your life. These are my first notebooks from 2011, the year when everything changed for us. I have notebooks like this from as far back as 2005 but what I noticed in looking through them is that until …
