It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want-oh, you don’t know quite what it is you want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! MARK TWAIN xoxo Sally

Hola Cottage Fix friends! Honey and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary this past weekend and I got these lovely flowers. We went on a bit of a nostalgic weekend, visiting the gazebo where we said our vows. There was a wedding happening so we sat out under a shade tree and watched for a while. Then the next day we headed to the ice cream shop we went to the morning after we were married. It poured rain so […]

Happy Friday Cottage Fix friends! Our garden is growing wild this year, or as I like to say; the green machine is kickin’! The hydrangea are especially thriving now that the shade tree we cut back is starting to fill in and provide a bit of canopy from the afternoon sun.

Honey has been on work travel for what seems like most of the summer, and the long, hot days are feeling even longer. So to keep myself busy in those quiet hours between morning and night, when the supper dishes are still drying, and mother nature has cast her magical sort of […]

Salutations and happy summer! Our summer garden is in full swing and the hydrangeas are blooming a variety of colors this year. From deep purple to classic blue, they are one of my favorite flowers, especially to cut and bring inside. I picked a couple of new blooms in lime green to add to this bouquet too. One was on it’s way to turning purple and the other blue. So I did some investigating about hydrangea color… Can you manipulate […]
