I am impressed with the geraniums in a hanging basket on our porch.
They are loud and assertive, they announce the coming of Spring, the season of color and light, they are in my face, and I thank them.
I also thank you good folks for supporting two cherished projects of the Army Of Good. The Amazon Mansion Wish List, and the Bishop Maginn High School Wish List.
The Bishop Maginn High School Wish List has three items left – clay, tape and drawing paper.
These items all will support the art classes and art studies at Maginn, which is seeking to rebuild its arts and music programs after some hard years.
Refugee children are a large and rapidly growing student population of the school, which turns almost no one away over money.
These supplies include clay blocks, black drawing paper and masking tape, and range in price from $11.06 to $38.64. The school is seeking multiple quantities of some of these items, a total of 16 all together.
Take a look, if you can.
The Mansion Amazon Wish List is once again, sold out. Thank you.

Are you sure those gorgeous purple flowers are geraniums? Check with Maria and see if they might be petunias.
I love your blog – I’ve been watching it for years (I support it with $ every month). And tell Maria that one of her wonderful potholders hangs from a hook in my kitchen (with her signed note attached) – its too beautiful to risk using!
Thanks to both of you for brightening so many lives. Lynne
Thanks so much Lynne, I appreciate the nice words and your love of potholders, Maria has done the impossible, turning the humble potholder into an art form hung everywhere. I was told they were Geraniums, but I won’t lie to you. I never have been able to get the names of flowers right, and I have to also tell the truth..I don’t care much. It might be Dyslexia, but I can’t hide behind that. It just doesn’t matter to me, and I have so many flowers and take so many photos I just call them what I think they are. Once in awhile, I’m right 🙂 I know it drives the garden people crazy, but there is… J
(those are petunias)
Could be..
oh yes, they *are* petunia’s…………..but no matter what you call them, they are beautiful.
