I tried to document as much as possible by video, which is my new hobby. So if you'd like to see what I am up too a lot quicker, you may want to subscribe to my Youtube channel. Lately it seems easier to post a video then to keep up with all the new SEO requirements and new dashboard blogger has.

Hi! I know you probably think I have forgotten about Blogging but I have actually been spending so much time with friends and outside gardening that is has kind of taken a back seat. Also, I am starting to move forward a bit and do more videos on Youtube and Instagram. Maybe my tastes are changing?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I spent a bit more time on this video and it is a much longer one, it is a full garden tour both front yard and back...so please hop on over to Youtube to watch it. It's free to watch!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Taking a garden stroll in late May early June in my Zone 5 garden is the best time if you like to see how quickly things can change.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br>
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My garden literally changes almost every day, with new color sprouting up and old color fading off. Some tulips came early, some later in Spring. Then the alliums started blooming early. Talk about a show of color!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Pretty pink tulips with a moss table runner set alongside my favorite white square dishes for me, is a table setting that even in a couple of years will still look good.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">I am gearing up for Spring here in Indiana. It will show here and I want to be ready. So when I found Tulips at my local store, that was almost as good as being able to wear pretty sandals after a pedicure. I also broke down and purchased some pretty pricey glass chargers for my table, with the thought that they will get used several times.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Updating your kitchen a pantry is no easy job. No matter how small the job or large the impact is the same. Your kitchen is a complete disaster until it's done. Plus, the job always has a ripple effect.</span></div>
