Winter Quote

December 23, 2015 By Karen Creel

Yesterday was the official start of winter. Today doesn’t feel like winter. Our unseasonably warm weather has brought us a forecast of temperatures in the high 60’s and possible hailstorms and tornados. But, our winters here in north Georgia can be harsh in January and February. This picture is from last years snow in February when we had over 9 inches. So….I’m not writing winter off just yet.

My gnome hopes to introduce you to winter with his quote. winter gnome quote

Remember, spring is just around the corner.

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.
