Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Just A Little Sprinkle
It’s a very good day when you find 3 new but old sprinklers for the garden!
For The Flutter Friends
Butterflies are attracted to the colors red, yellow, pink, purple and orange!
The Butterfly Bush is the perfect way to bring them in.
This Time Of The Year
The garden starts producing and getting a bit messy around the edges.
With the heat and mosquitoes I have been practicing ‘speed gardening’!
Quick water, quick harvest, quick dead head, quick weeding…oh heck,
I’ll get those weeds next time.
What He Said!
Dear Sun,
I agree you are very HOT.
You don’t have to prove it everyday!

This Spot Of Ground
A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.
The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies.
There is no spot of ground, however arid, bare or ugly, that cannot be tamed into such a state as may give an impression of beauty and delight.
The lesson I have thoroughly learnt, and wish to pass on to others, is to know the enduring happiness that the love of a garden gives.

Astilbe-Cotton Candy
This just might be my favorite spot in my garden right now!
Herbs
Although I plant Herbs directly into the garden, I also keep pots of Herbs to bring indoors,
or to share with friends and family.
The Scent Of Summer
Pull up a chair among the Thyme and Lavender.
I once dreamed of having a little greenhouse that I grew little pots of Herbs.
It’s good to dream.
Now, snap out of it…I have to weed and water!
