In time...the perfect garden

Do you remember Meryl Streep's garden in "It's Complicated"?
I had major 'garden envy' when I saw that. :)
I loved the movie, too.

My gardens don't look anything like the above but I do have some added attractions that make them rather special. And I know if I just keep going, adding my favorite flowers and climbing vines, in time, they will be just right for me.

Adding soaker hoses to the veggie garden.
The potted lettuce is doing fine.

 Wisteria was planted at the side of the arbour and it is really growing well.

Daisy time. :)

I think gardens can tell you a lot about the person who saw a vision and worked many happy hours to bring that picture to life.
A well-tended garden becomes a place to sooth the soul and calm the nerves. A place that draws you in. Your happy place.


Simon loves the gardens near his den and in front of the wood-lot. I'll show you 'his' garden later.

 "Really, Simon? Geesh!"

He likes a well-stocked den and a full tummy. I hope he doesn't explode. He does get a lot of exercise running around the property, thank goodness.

And look who is still on her nest although I think here she is waiting for the male to return so she can have a much needed break.
 

































I think I'm going to cry when she leaves.  I know...I'm 
ridiculous.*sniff*
I truly have enjoyed her company while I weed around the veggie garden. I might also talk to her while I do that. :)

When she leaves her nest in a few weeks I will get back to hoping for a blue-bird to find the house attractive. After-all, that's why I had the house put up in the first place. 

But I will miss her. *sob* :(

There he is.

"Bout time, mister."

Fresh home-grown leafy lettuce from the garden today to add to a sandwich.
Delicious.

Have a good evening, everyone.

hugs, Deb
