This Weekend at Hogscald Hollow

I spend this weekend working the the yard.Our yard is almost 2 acres and has been very wild and overgrown for as long as we have had this house.The time has come and a little help so....things are getting done.Here I am taking the grand babies big toys around to the back yard.Adam got a good laugh at this one.I love my little trailer.Last week you would not been able to see me through here.
When I would come up for a rest I also worked on so cinnamon sticks Santas.I painted 185 of them.

Then I bundled then up and tied them with a wool bow.I am getting for the big craft show I do every year.War Eagle has been going for 51 years and I have been doing it here 14 of those years.People come from all over for this show.It is the 3rd weekend of Oct.


Now for a little input from Adam.He took this pic of a plant he is growing.It just started blooming and he wanted the play guess the flower with you.So....take a Guess?I will send a little gift to the first person that gets it right.
Live deeply,Vicki

Looks like you have a red caboose on your train!

Santa Sticks are cute Vicki.

I am going to guess the flower is a variety of a rhododendron

Vicki, Love the cinnamon Santas!!! I think you've stumped me on the flower though...(I thought I was plant smart) I guess nicotiana or bromeliad.

Hey I just gave Bobbie my list, I put you down as committed but undecided as to what.

I also said I know it will be something wonderful!
But no pressure or anything.

Is it Witch Hazel? Just a guess out of the blue.

coinguyslady said...

No, not Witch Hazel.

Dana and Daisy said...

I'm stumped, but I'm going to send someone over to tell us what it is.
