What Shadow?

February 3, 2012 By Karen Creel

I watched the news this morning and saw where the Ground hog had seen his shadow, and we were in for 6 more weeks of winter. Who would have known it here it Chickamauga, Ga. After I picked my granddaughters up from school, we headed to the walking track around the local school. The temperature? 66 degrees. Tomorrow’s forecast is in the 60’s with rain coming our way later in the day, along with rain on Saturday. But again, on Sunday we expect warm weather.

This groundhog saw her shadow and mine taking here picture!

We may be in for 6 more weeks of winter, but I am going to enjoy this warm weather while I can.

Is it Spring Yet? »

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age. I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers. Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch. I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard. My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden. He had me help him plant a garden in May before he died in August. So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together. I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
