Summer Yard

Planting and digging in the yard has been a daily joy. When we moved in our house 5 years ago, the yard had no charm. The property had been where the barn was for the farmhouse below. I needed some landscape help and had some professional help in planning and planting.  So glad we did that.

I wanted the privacy with trees but the charm of a cutting garden. We picked our favorites and went from there. With the plantings in place it was up to us to keep it going.  

 

Our weeping plum tree starts out sparse and by summer turns out full. 

 

This vintage cage is perfection as a stand alone our full with cucumbers 

I love working under the trees. It is my patch of a secret garden. I can escape the worries of the unrest or pray regarding the events around us. 

My favorite time is the foggy, hazy start of the day. I love the promise of a new day. 

The plants do require me to come out and ground myself

This is an area I am developing this season. I moved some of the metal I found at a garage sale. The chair was $5 and the metal art was $12. I was thrilled to find those at an artist house that was moving. No one had looked outside!!

How are you keeping sane during theses times?

Out and about

Exploring the beauty of summer around the yard, I was reminded of the joy my plants bring. My granddaughter loved the texture. Her little fingers are so sweet. 

We looked around at the blooms, leaning in to smell. A surprise lily popping up with purple and white to brighten up the landscape. 

Blueberries are blooming with small berries showing up. 

We drove around the back roads just to get out. The day was so clear and the sky blue. I had to stop and take a picture of this old building. 

We did get out to walk some trails and have a snack. 

Oh I can’t wait for our state to open up

Hope your day is great
