Please observe the front lawn whilst it is green - it could be gone in the blink of an eye, or a few hot windy days.

ReplyDeleteI loved everything.
It will be a treat seeing your blog in our winter...I know our seasons are opposite.
I'm so happy to see you've been inspired to get out into your beautiful garden with your camera, Alice. Everything is looking so gorgeous, and that cherry tree is breathtaking! Does it smell as sweet as it looks?
ReplyDeleteI'm very impressed with your statue's neat and tidy, well-planned vegetable garden. The pansies are are the perfect finishing touch.
It's easy to see that you both love tending to your gardens.
This lovely tour, and a cup of coffee, was just the thing to relax with after a long day at school. Thanks dear friend :)
Very beautiful flowers, I enjoyed my tour.
ReplyDeletePansies for borders? Hmmmmn, I let my rocket seed, & was rewarded by freebies, but now, they no longer return. Perhaps they need pansies to cheer them along?
ReplyDeleteLove your garden, & the gnome included!
What a delight to see your garden, Alice, with all the beautiful blooms of summer! You've indeed created a paradise for you and your family! The cherry tree is absolutely fantastic! There are no words to describe this splendour!
