Take a walk with me through my Spring Garden

Take a walk with me around my yard this morning.


We have had a very rainy, chilly, and kinda gray Spring this year but the garden has loved the weather.


LUSH is the best word for how the world looks this morning.






We can enter the garden


by walking on a gravel path


into the Meditation Garden


The rain has made this garden really lush.


. . . and abundant with Solomon Seals


St. Frances of the Herb Garden




One of the best additions to the garden has been


a front and back porch Pergola


The new front porch Pergola provides a great space


for hanging plants, windchimes


and bird feeders


The back deck Pergola is


by the Kitchen Garden


The back deck Pergola overlooks the quiet backyard.


A perfect place for a glass of tea and a good book.
We actually did have a few days when I could create


the Freshly Painted Garden Shed


Tucked behind the shed is a


little Fairy Garden


And finally the most recent addition to the yard is a Bottle Tree


The metal frame for this tree was purchased from the Secret Garden in Waynesville, Ohio The colorful bottles are from North Carolina,


Virginia and Ohio

The flowers in the following post


were taken on some of the few days


we actually has SUN this Spring.


Have a great day,


Robbie

chilly rain filled Spring


could produce such
