Ready for the workshop..........


I spent most of the day yesteday rounding up everything I needed to take to the workshop today.  I packed it all in the car last night so I wouldn't feel rushed this morning.

We had rain off and on yesterday with some sunshine thrown in between showers.


I remember someone had the name for these star flowers that have the grass like leaves and little bulbs with roots.  They remind me of onions when I dig them up.  They open when it is bright out and close when it is overcast or dark outside.

  1. Have fun at your workshop. The flowers are beautiful. I have some that when they come up I will have to ask everyone what they are. I will look in my books to see the name of this one. Chris

  6. Hi Wanda
    Your columbine photo is great! I lost a couple of my columbines over the winter -- not sure why (maybe they have a limited life).

    I don't have the star flowers but my friend does -- all over her yard now.
