Arabella's Garden - The View From Home. Thoughts from my garden in the sagebrush ocean of Central Oregon. Apr 29, 2013. The best laid plans . Ok, I know. These 'new' seed packets all say '2012' on them. That's because I don't have a picture of any 2013 seeds because I procrastinated ordering, and then got sick and couldn't lift a finger to do anything until just last week. And then she just started laughing. 'It's all over the place, very restless, up and down and all around.'. I asked and she laughed ag...

Arabella's Garden - The View From Home. Thoughts from my garden in the sagebrush ocean of Central Oregon. Apr 28, 2014. Who's in charge here, anyway? It's time for Action! In the garden - but time does not always correspond to good weather. We are coming off of a week of rain showers, cold winds and the odd spring snowflake, but heading into some gorgeousness real soon. Shifting my gaze a little lower, I see the greening up of the controversial raspberry bushes in front of the coop. Raspberry bushes are,...

Arabella's Garden - The View From Home. Thoughts from my garden in the sagebrush ocean of Central Oregon. Jan 27, 2013. An unspoken rule for musicians is to mark printed scores using pencil only. But Dr. Foote used a fountain pen! He wrote the date IN INK on the top of each new piece I studied. And then wrote out my assignment sheet with the same pen. I almost stopped breathing when I saw the gold nib headed towards my music book for the first time. The boldness! Still in love with Robin Hood? The bottle...

Arabella's Garden - The View From Home. Thoughts from my garden in the sagebrush ocean of Central Oregon. Aug 28, 2013. I went, I saw, I got wet - Backyard Farm Tour Day Two. With my own duty as official backyard farm host completed last Saturday, I set out the next day to see what others had growing. Most of the tour stops on the second day were closer to actual farms than backyards. I only made it to three before getting rained out, but they were pretty cool. First hints of something a little different:.

Arabella's Garden - The View From Home. Thoughts from my garden in the sagebrush ocean of Central Oregon. Sep 25, 2012. Hero of small town America. Doing email on my laptop, watching live swimming on my iPad, following on-location OlympicsTweets from a local guy on my smartypants phone. And eating. My sweetheart and I couldn't resist being part of such a hero's welcome, and along with several thousand other people, we walked downtown Sunday afternoon to watch the parade. I don't know when I've seen t...

Arabella's Garden - The View From Home. Thoughts from my garden in the sagebrush ocean of Central Oregon. Jun 29, 2014. Buk Buk Buk Buk Buk. It seemed pretty straightforward. Get some chicks at the feed store. Procure a feeder, waterer, heat lamp, and a big box to start. Meanwhile, build a coop. Move chicks to coop when the time is ripe, watch them grow, and wait for eggs. It actually worked fairly well, considering I was a complete novice, though well-read. But after Betty, my favorite hen. Who had alre...

A Quilting Journal, showcasing longarm machine quilting. For estimates on quilting your next quilt contact me at: slawson4512@gmail.com. Sunday, August 24, 2014. This lovely log cabin is completed! And I've got pictures to prove it! I had some difficulty with sagging of the backing fabric and trying to avoid puckers in several areas, which I attribute to the cabin squares being off in size. But all is well, no puckering or pleating and overall the quilt is square. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. My personal ...
