I love the pics where you showcase the spent blooms of the sedums. I find their winter form very romantic.

We've honored it by keeping the center stone in place and using the rocks from the maze all over the garden, so it's here in spirit.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate it! :)Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-69134545965378045472019-01-03T19:58:49.285-08:002019-01-03T19:58:49.285-08:00Your words are too kind, Pat!

Not an easy thing to do, as we can't see the result til well after the planting. The challenge for me is deciding when to cut all the grasses and seedheads back-It's almost time here, the spring bulbs will be up soon.kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-29278729051463601132019-01-03T16:51:21.449-08:002019-01-03T16:51:21.449-08:00I found you just after you had moved and were faci...I found you just after you had moved and were facing what seemed like an enormous undertaking.

The Mount Hood photos are spectacular, and you are certainly fortunate to have such a fine view of it.

One of my favorites. I read that review and several others with great interest. Despite the complaints and bad review you mention and Dery's rather detailed account of everything he could find on EG, I loved every bit of the book. I'm sure others will too.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words, I am trying to attract frogs and the like to the garden, hopefully they will come!<br /><br />Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-9479842506544925482019-01-03T11:27:46.938-08:002019-01-03T11:27:46.938-08:00Thank you, Kris.

I was led to this New Yorker article<br />https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/12/10/edward-goreys-enigmatic-world. This writer didn't particularly like the book you read. I learned about EG. I know the work he did for the Mystery Theatre on PBS. Interesting. One never knows what one will learn on a Garden Blog. I also forgot to mention your beautiful photos of the mountain etc. I love the frog/salamander abode.
