badcrafter: Jean Glennie née Nickerson ❥ Mother
http://badcrafter.blogspot.com/2015/05/jean-glennie-nee-nickerson-mother.html
Badcrafter ● a vancouver islander at home. Monday, May 4, 2015. Jean Glennie née Nickerson ❥ Mother. That's Jean, my mom—rarely without a child in her arms, as befits a mother of seven. She died when I was in my early 30s. Baby in the middle photo… me, scowling, as usual. (Or howling, and her response would be to fix yet another bottle of evaporated milk sweetened with corn syrup.) I remember being sent to the kitchen to mix up batches of the same… elixer? Monday, May 04, 2015. Love the little scowler.

First garden with mature roses. First garden with rivers. Of anemones. Pulsatillas. Birch trees. Fritillaria. And, after gardening at five previous homes; I know,. That, at 60 years of age—this will probably be my last. Thursday, April 09, 2015. April 9, 2015 at 11:45 PM. So happy for you, badcrafter!

badcrafter: Elizabeth
http://badcrafter.blogspot.com/2015/04/elizabeth.html
Badcrafter ● a vancouver islander at home. Monday, April 20, 2015. Happily wandering a field-tree nursery last week; and was stopped in my tracks by the vision of an allée of magnolias. The variety Elizabeth. Is a particularly beautiful creamy yellow. The urge to buy one is tempered, though, by reading Fine Gardening's list of woeful pests and diseases that afflict these beautiful trees. Monday, April 20, 2015. April 21, 2015 at 5:39 PM.
