Overflowing garden beds hide the raised beds.
It’s hard to tell what’s hiding in there sometimes, and I find myself nearly standing on my head to pick tomatoes.

Shhh, I’m hiding in here
Rabbit Run Cottage is the perfect place to sit and gather your thoughts.
As the weekend ends
Tidy up.
Put away the tools.
Water.
Sit back and enjoy.
Purple Power
The liatris shows more color each day.
They are framing the front porch of Rabbit Run Cottage quite beautifully this year.
Still missing is the little flag from the front porch post…I’m working on a little replacement.
Lost and Found
While cleaning up flower beds this Spring, it was clear my beautiful Butterfly Bush’s had not survived the Winter.
Last Fall I had planted just a few Liatris that I had started in the greenhouse. They have filled in the empty gaps and are going to be stunning in a few days….I love the purple against the grey-green colors of Rabbit Run Cottage.
Notice anything else? That hole in the porch post is missing it’s Flag. Lost in the storm.
Check back in the garden in a few days if you love purple!
Find a spot of shade
It’s best to find a little shady spot on these hot Summer days.
I tucked the crate of Mint cuttings onto the porch of Rabbit Run Cottage.

A splash of blue for the garden.
Rural Practicality
This sweet garden bench was made by a garden friend. Using old headboards as the base, each bench is unique and perfect in the garden.
A perfect addition to Rabbit Run Cottage, I added a couple of vintage ticking feather pillows to take a little rest from garden chores.
Rural Practicality!
Rabbit Run Cottage–the story
5 years ago we “dropped” our little garden shed
into a weed patch of our new property.
I had little time to ponder the placement of the beloved shed–I was just grateful it had made the journey.
I knew it was the beginning of my garden.
A garden I had dreamed of nearly my entire adult life.
So let’s take a little peak back in time–and see how Rabbit Run Cottage was created.
Tea Parties Daily
Its colors are more muted for the garden, and the play kitchen was retired. A pile of pillows, quilts and books are in the loft. Lucy is very gracious in sharing her little house with me.
Thought I’d repost this from last year….
It’s a good time to start planning those Spring projects!
Hope this gives you a little inspiration.
