BLOG #8 --Photo journal at last --THE YARD

Before we moved in, there was mud, and more mud, and even more mud.






The wall went up one year and needed to be rebuilt the next.



That was a mud hole for a year.


Then Jan started buying bulbs that I didn't know where to plant.
Pretty little flowers to fill up  HUGE space.







Jan left and it was time to begin again.
Bigger stuff!






A new bed! Spring!


                                                                       And summer!





Getting the hang of it now!



Lighting up the night.
An electrician's nightmare but they were pretty while they lasted.


A mother's day gift  --  a fire pit. 
May through Thanksgiving, it was a blessing.





There were successful experiments and some that were not so successful.  The joy came from experimenting and learning from the healing garden.  Wisdom is patience. Rewards are profound.





Still a work in progress but so am I.  We are getting there!

  1. I appreciated getting to see not just more of your garden, but its evolution. It's an enviable space! I would also have liked to get more of your insights - there was a prompt for this final entry - on your time reflecting on the garden during your time spent here.
