I love the morning dappled sunshine that filters into the garden.
The quiet before the day’s work begins.

Tidbits
The porch of Rabbit Run Cottage, our little garden shed; is one of my favorite places to decorate around the garden.
It is an ever changing display of plants, pots and garden tidbits.
Yes, I do use those little hand clippers to trim around my garden.
Come Sail Away
I hinted a few days ago about an addition to the garden pond.
Sailboats!
Some scrap wood, old spindles for the mast, and vintage grain sack sails.
I think they look quite nice bobbing in the water.
New And Improved
The new and improved garden pond!
Shallow edges making the pond more visible from around the garden.
Tumbled rock to line the pond, with field stones and limestone used in the waterfall and edges.
New areas of the garden have opened up to more work and opportunities.
I’m planting in with lots of starter perennials and sneaking plants from one area of the garden to another.
A friend offered some of her ferns and I can’t wait to go get them for the newest shade area of the garden.
A frog has moved in all ready and is happily croaking, but I have yet to spy him.
Working on a little surprise for the pond.
Any guesses?
Here And There
The flowers are showing off in some areas of the garden.
This splash of white Clematis I have grown to really anticipate each year.
An unknown variety, it is usually the kick off for blossoms around Rabbit Run Cottage.
Too New
His before look.
My new concrete rabbit will have to undergo some aging this Summer.
A little mossy smoothie should do the trick.
Welcome to your new home here at Rabbit Run Cottage.
Rabbit Run Cottage
My garden office.
Rabbit Run Cottage is a perfect spot to start the morning or rest after a long day in the garden.
A constant evolution of “treasures” can be found in the little garden shed.
Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s very neat and tidy.
Lucy has discovered the WiFi signal is good out here, and watches her favorite shows on her laptop.
Garden kitties love to nap in the loft when the afternoon Sun is too warm.
What little treasures can you spy inside?
A Look Back
The garden started when we moved our beloved little Rabbit Run Cottage from our old home.
It survived the trip and was slid off the trailer into a weedy patch of property.
By the end of the first garden season we had cleaned up the weeds and began the work of making a garden that had a dream of mine for many years.
Next would be the greenhouse and kitchen garden….
I love it when a plan comes together!
A Red Door
Rabbit Run Cottage has made a few changes as it grows older.
Haven’t we all?!!!
I still remember Lucy, 6 years old, going in and out of the little door, cut just for her size.
I painted that door 3 times, until I got the red I loved.
A different angle
This side of the garden doesn’t get photographed much.
Even this image is from three seasons ago.
The south side of the fence is planted in perennials for a cottage garden effect.
The future plans are to continue expanding the plantings to embrace more of the yard.
Our home will began a renovation project this Spring. In the future we will be opening up walls and creating two openings to the back of the house.
We all ready decided we need to add a gate to this side of the fence!
