Comment on Garden Art – Create you own Garden Totem by Denise

Hi Sharon,

If any moisture can get in the totem it will break.

If its airtight and moisture tight you can probably leave it out in your milder climate.

For extra protection cover it when you know you may get a bad storm. It would only take a few minutes and would be faster and easier than moving it indoors.

I lived in NC for a while and overall your winters are much milder than where I live now. Denise

Hummers are our favorites too. It is always sad when we realize we won’t be seeing them again until mid-late April.

I’d like to know if glass totems are safe outside in winter? What happens in a freeze? I’ve just made my first ones in NC so most monthes are fine but……
thanks

Comment on Amish Tradition and Harvesting Hickory by D S

Amish Tradition is not known by many. They live such a simple life and keep to themselves. We have Amish in and around the area. I met a Amish roofing contractor earlier this year. He was up on a roof that I was also on servicing a rooftop a/c unit. He was very nice and you could tell he was a good person.

You are lucky to have them as neighbors and I guarantee if you ever were in need…they would make sure you were well taken care of.

What a fun time it must be to have them come around once a year. So the use of the hickory is strictly for bentwood rockers – that’s neat! What a great post.

Comment on Healing with Art – Reno Gazette Article – Art and Garden Therapy by Keri Eagan

I have heard great things about art therapy. A few years ago I went to art school and there was a noticable “mood” about the place. I believe that this was due to emotional involment that happens when creativity is tapped.

Very nice article about the Amish culture Denise. I must admit that I didn’t know anything about them until I read this article.

It is also interesting how they use hickory branches to make rockers!

Better garden center should carry them. Sometimes they can be ordered through garden catalogs.

But Chinese lanterns start very easily from seed and see is available in most garden centers.
