Howdy from South Carolina! I'm Tara. My husband and 2 Siamese cats live in the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Garden zone 7B.
I named my property Sweetgrass Pond. I love Sweetgrass and want to plant some in this space. I'm going to add a cottage garden to part of small space between side porch and corner of house. I thought I'd bring you along for my journey. This is my project, I'll be doing all the work myself. And this project will take months. I'm waiting on a potting bench to be delivered and that will go under the 2 windows. I have to work around meters, hose reel and cable lines. The 165 gallon pond has been installed in the back yard, 1 of many projects and my husband and I added a small beachy area. I'll take a picture of the pond and share it with ya'll soon. I'd like to plant flowers in colors of peach, coral, pinks and white
I love seashells, sea turtles, dragonflies and frogs. I can't live at the ocean , but I'm happy to be in the mountains again.
And I may share pictures of other projects or what's happening on the property. Suggestions are welcome for garden ideas.

Ruby has made progress in healing. At this time my vet says to hold off on scan. Ruby has re check of eye pressure. The reading is good. I knew the swelling came from her mouth. she still has vision loss and none of the vets can tell me if she will regain site. I'm glad I insisted her teeth be pulled. Vet said in some cats there is an inflammation/infection of gums but not cause rotten teeth. 15 days of antibiotics and pain meds and Ruby is acting like a kitten.
We cancelled appt with specialist. Keep us in your prayers, this has been a rough month. I haven't baked cookies yet.

Thinking good thoughts for you and Ruby. I hope the clinic can do some good about diagnosis and treatment. We do worry about our fur kids.

Ty. I called my vet and taking Ruby back to animal clinic for xrays. One has to be proactive. I was a mess yesterday and couldn't think straight.
Keep the prayers and good vibes going for us
