A reflective blog since 2017
The Apples in My Orchard
Did You Know?
Did you know that I also write on Medium.com? I have been a writer there since 2022. My address page can be found at: https://carollabuzzetta.medium.com/
Medium is a membership platform, but I can share with a friend link, too.
Formal Education
My background is varied. I earned a BSN from Alfred University in New York, a Master's in Child Health from SUNY Buffalo, and another Master's from UW- Steven's Point in Natural Resources, with an emphasis on Environmental Education.
What do I write about?
I write about life. You will find my articles focus on travel, education, community involvement, gardening, and sometimes parenting, although those days are mostly behind me now. I value honesty and transparency, as well as education, service, & creativity.
We are on to summer blooms! Our cone flowers (echinacea) are just about to bloom, and we’ve got a few others that are beautiful, despite the fact that I don’t know what they are (but my wife does).

I love our cone flowers! Ours are not blooming yet but have buds. Soon we’ll have phlox, Ladies Mantle, Coral Bells, Zinnia (a favorite), and asters (another favorite). But, I think the show my liastris puts on it is the best! I have another month or so to wait for the tall purple spikes that always brighten my day!

Cone flowers are one of my favorites! Our clematis is a beautiful purple as well, but they’ve come and gone.

Ahh, you probably have a Jackmanii Clematis! The color of that variety is beautiful! The school garden I cared for during the last two years had two beautiful Jackmanii Clematis! They are definitely a show stopper!
The flowers are beautiful! Most of ours have come and gone here in the southern states.
Thank you! Are you on to summer blooms now? You must have some flowers that like the heat!
