Rock of Love

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Every time my little Rock steps out he likes to pee on my beautiful bleeding heart, so, I’ve decided when the time comes I’ll mark the spot with a garden memorial stone as a final tribute.

Running for the Roses

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Now available: Our new Bronze Beauty Equestrian Keepsake Urn is such a powerful tribute and so well done! Sculpted using the lost wax process, this sculpture has the look and weight of bronze and stands on it’s own as a piece of art, a keepsake urn or mounted on a full size horse urn. […]

Five Years of Consternation:
Revelations in the Garden: Just realized that we (me, myself and I) have been consternated for the last five years. Five Years! Who knew?
Apparently everyone around me. While sorting thru some photos snapped on mother’s camera, and some shots taken in my last season on the JOB in the […]

Friday, April 25th, 2008

More with Cheryl Thompson-Morrow of Thompson Funeral Home, Broadman, OH.
20 Years Later: “It’s been a good career choice, the initial transition was difficult, because many of the families insisted on working with my father, and weren’t accustomed to a female funeral director.

Bleeding Hearts

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

A welcome sight in the early Spring garden. Bleeding Hearts are hardy and easy to grow (and toxic). My Bleeding Hearts have taken a lot of abuse over the years and still come back every season. The original plant in my garden has been split and divided several times and moved all about the property, […]

State of the Garden Address

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Green and frosty this morn. We’re moving outdoors, but wanted to send a shout out to the Colgate Palmolive Company, distributors of the fine product Irish Spring.

Dawgz in the Hood

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

It’s true. When I meet with the A-team and we stroll the grounds of the garden, I like to take pix of the neighbor’s pets. Even the pesky cats next door.
Here’s a few of my furry friends.

Shad resides at corporate headquarters and is a member of our advisory team.This was my first test […]

Protector of the Gold

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Today a family called looking for an urn with the image of a griffin. I love the idea of this ancient symbol of protection on a cremation urn.
We’ve got a couple of griffins out in the garden. The legendary Griffin symbol is a fascinating creature with the body of a lion and […]
