life in and around the garden
Once a week Lucy has been riding, and she has bonded with this horse,
Flame…
Flame is quiet and reliable–perfect for a new rider.
Working on the deal…and Rocky might come with.
He is tall, dark, and overweight.
We do not judge!
First photo taken with my “new”–hand me down phone from my husband.
This is going to be very handy!
And I will spare you a picture of that…
I walked the property this morning with camera in hand.
This is what I thought I would share today.
One sweet clover.
I am not in Paris,
but my husband is!
He took these pictures this morning on a walk near his hotel.
Enjoy!
A little bunch of flowers
to add some color and fragrance to the house.
Snapdragons, French Vanilla Marigolds, and Lavender sprigs.
I have been thinking about taking this picture
for most of the Summer.
Simple and colorful.
The Pickery
has been providing pretty cutting flowers
throughout the Summer.
Today I will enjoy some sweet Snapdragons.
Twine, jute, string….
I like them all.
I tend to buy it, even if I know I have plenty left…
A very practical collection.
Shocking Pink!
The celosia was a tough flower for me this year.
With nearly 50 little plants started in the greenhouse,
I struggled to get roots to form.
Once in the ground in The Pickery, I lost even more in the heat.
Only 10 or so flowers bloomed–but oh my…
Look at this shocking pink flower.
You may need your shades to view these beauties!
Just a little lavender…
blooming along the fence of the garden.
