Garden

[Lilysmom]

The evergreens have had a growth spurt.  Mulching and weeding today.  We are swimming daily now and that makes me so happy.  My treat after a few hours of garden toil. 

Things are slowly coming alive.  

It is terrible to post now.  Photos take forever and impossible to type without auto jumping back to the start.  Hope they fix this or posting will be much less frequent.

What a lovely garden!  It is filled with such beauty and variety and looks comfortable and relaxing to sit in.  You must have a lot of patience and love for the outdoors to put all the time and energy into this retreat!  Thanks for posting, I am impressed, such details.

I have Golden Mop cypress in my front of house landscaping.

That’s me in the reflection of the storm door.

@Lilysmom  You should start your own garden decor business. 

You have a gift.

@JustJazzmom  I want to buy your ranch home because it has a PORCH!!!!   Porches are rare in my neck of the woods.

@Lilysmom  Where are you located?  Was this all covered with snow during the winter?

[Lilysmom]

@Zhills , hi!  I am in Nova Scotia and, yes, we get winter.  Like Boston.  LM
