Gardens & Nature: June 29, 2026!

This past week went from the 90s early on to the 60s and rain by the weekend. I spent a good deal of time in the heat working on my new planting guide, but Shane and I enjoyed a woods walk and birding Saturday morning with the arrival of cooler temperatures. Later that morning we took a peaceful trip up the river, completely unaware of the drama unfolding back home. We returned to a full-blown Tornado Warning! Everyone is safe, but it was quite a scare. Dive into this week's updates below! Enjoy! Amy

This week was less eventful than last week! This is a much larger blog this time though! Shane made something for my mother, we did some birding, Shane did some fishing, and we went on a woods walk of course! LOTS of photos! Enjoy! Amy

Saturday I manage to get stung by a yellow jacket while Shane was driving, 15 minutes later an ambulance took me to the hospital because my body passed out (though I was very aware of everything). I now have a prescription for an Epi-Pen! Dang critters! Otherwise, we have a mini-garden now! We also beat the heat by doing an early Woods Walk on Sunday too. Enjoy! Amy

This week we took our Woods Walk during passing thunderstorms. Dry one second and pouring the next. Still managed to see some flowers, make a video and see some birds. Enjoy! Amy

This past week was a busy one! Shane went on a camping trip over Memorial Weekend down in the Applegate River area. The girl child and I planted all the hanging baskets and cleaned up the rest of the patio. Shane and I took a woods walk, per usual, as well. Enjoy! Amy
