Snapshots

Fulfillment, satisfaction, breathtaking, comfort, serenity and joyful.  Our garden is in its tenth year of really 'working it' and I ask myself, is this really work?   This morning, early, I took my camera outside on my walk and begin taking snapshots of my garden to share with all of you.


The dew was still on the lawn .  .  . What better time of the day to share in the quiet, with of course a chorus of birdsong conversations already going non-stop!  Pure comfort and joy!



We added a pergola this year over our hot tub and its
structure a great addition to still another 'garden room'.



Love hostas (we have a lot of shade) and each year I
try adding two or three more different kinds.



Our backyard Clematis couldn't be more beautiful.




Another hosta shot as the sun was breaking through.




Still trying to decide if I like the Vinca Vine in with the
Rosemary topiaries. . .






Old 'wire', moss and fresh annuals.  What a look!




Just filled this and hung it today.  .  .  .Ageratum and Bicopa



I went back to the garden to pick this lovely rose.




The statuary from The Garden of Good and Evil.  Love the contrast
of the Blue Spruce.




My Climbing Hydrangea flowers are huge this year!




I love tucking pots into garden spaces which add interest and height
to the garden.




The first Spiderwort blossom of the year.







Too sweet not to show you the shades of grey with
the Blue Spruce.  Must clean and fill with water in
the morning.

More snapshots to follow. . . . . I hope you are enjoying
your garden.

Your clematis is just gorgeous and I love all of those mossed baskets. I hope you are doing okay finding all of those plants. It is amazing how fast it heats up and things just explode in the garden. My thoughts are with you next week!

Your garden is beautiful. It is so green and groomed with flowers that are vibrant with color. The pink rose made me smile, as I love roses. It's so pretty. Wouldn't it be nice to sit out there and have myself a cup of tea?
