My garden is so full of joy! I love it.

The ambassador alliums are really making me happy. I planted these last fall.

April 2014 - May 2020 

We’ve come a long way, baby.

This morning the dew is clinging to the spiderwebs between the cedars and the air is perfumed with the scent of autumn. From where I'm sitting I can count six frogs. There is nothing quite like the pleasure I derive from my garden. 

I take a lot of pictures to remember this lushness through the barren winter, but very few shots capture the magic. I do try.

The seedlings have grown and many of the annuals have begun to flower. The long walk is looking good.

The pond is teeming with critters. On any given day we can count fifteen frogs. Yesterday there was an adorable baby tree frog hanging out on a lily pad. We’ve also seen a ton of eggs in the water which I suspect are more frogs.

Misty evening.

The long path is making awesome progress. I’ve been spending a lot of time planting, weeding, and watering. My husband had a great idea to add metal edges to keep the mulch in. The edges will make it easier to mow and they give the space a very clean, sharp look. The flowers I planted from seed are all coming up. I’m very happy with the idea so far.
