A Summer Tour

When summer warmth bathed our gardens a few

weeks ago I attended a garden tour. Although summer has

now passed into autumn, as promised in a previous post it's

time to share past summer expressions!

Pretty in pink my eyes rest on these charming anemones

A time for perennials to really shine providing this garden
full of sunny blooms!

An angel casts her spell creating a feeling of
exquisite elegance to this water feature

One can make anything even a storage shed into
an architectural feature reflecting
your own creative personality!
*ENLARGE the above images to fully appreciate *details
notice the leaded stained glass windows and trellis on door!


"Yesterday is all around you and last Summer's
maturity and last month's ripeness"
Hal Borland

I continue to focus on life's blessings as I recover from
3 chemo treatments. I have 3 more rounds to complete
I rest when necessary always fully engaged
in the Joys that surround me!
With temperatures dropping it is now time to walk with Autumn.

Brilliant Blue Skies

I am not saddened by a summer that has passed

when experiencing such brilliant blue skies!

I feel autumn among fields of corn under the bluest sky!

Travel among the autumn trails and be dazzled by

the beauty and the wonderful world that surrounds you!

Sweet Reminders

"Only the heart knows how to find what is precious"

sweet reminders of a summer that has passed

~white hosta blossom~

I am resting and gathering strength for
round #3 of chemotherapy on Tues.
For this reason I have not yet had the energy to post
photos of the garden tour that I previously promised .
Be patient my friends I will as soon as I'm able.
Sitting at the computer for too long has a negative impact on
my energy level. Recovery demands rest.
Thank you for your support and understanding.

Welcome to my "girly garden"

my garden of girly delights!

Their curative power..

elegance and beauty surround me with sheer pleasure!

There is a connection between my girly garden and my emotions

a silent form of communication..

and hopefully yours too!
My garden lifts my spirit fills me with energy allowing

Hurrah for Flower power ..

Harvest Time

We decided to pick raspberries a few weeks ago.

On route I stopped and took photos for sky watch

All of summer they swiftly grew; brilliant jewels

and lovingly we ate them..

made freezer jam and froze many

the harvest of the future"

The fields of golden grain
God's bounty overflowing from every fertile plain."
