glitz and putz

Sharing a scene from my desk top.

At one time I knew the origins of the Christmas Bottle Brush tree. These are all reproductions, not vintage but still I think they have a certain charm, not too glitzy, ready to be placed in a putz.

I tried to research their history on-line, but the only thing I could find was where to purchase and how to make. Being a little impatient this morning, I moved on to other things. So, if you know, leave a comment and share with me.

silent reverie

October 8, 2012August 2, 2016 Kim of Red Dirt Farm1 Comment

Grey morning with light mist and fog rolling in from the sea, wrapping the bay in a blanket of quiet and calm.

Silent and still, birds gather on old pilings waiting; they too seem to be in a silent reverie.

dogberries

September 25, 2012 Kim of Red Dirt FarmLeave a comment

Predictions for our region have been for a hard winter. Acorns are steadily falling and squirrels are busy hiding them. The dogwood fruit is plentiful although the birds are fighting for the delicacy.

The name “dog-tree” entered the English vocabulary by 1548, and had been further transformed to “dogwood” by 1614. Once the name dogwood was affixed to this kind of tree, it soon acquired a secondary name as the Hound’s Tree, while the fruits came to be known as dogberries or houndberries. – Source Wikipedia

chimes

I sat on the old rusty glider, hoping to catch a photo of our humming birds. I noticed the vine twining through the chain of this old wind chimes hanging in the tree overhead.

The texture and lighting made me forget about the hummers for a bit.

abundant color

August 16, 2012 Kim of Red Dirt FarmLeave a comment

Back in February, though it had been a mild winter, bold beautiful color was hard to find in my Virginia landscape.

While vacationing in Florida, to satisfy our cravings for good fresh food and bold bright colors we headed to the local farmers market.

We were not disappointed. An incredible selection of fruits, vegetables, flowering plants and people dressed Florida style, provided abundant color.
