Our Secret Garden

I love taking pictures of our little "Secret Garden"

after the rain has finally ended. A work in progress.

But progress is happening. We planted

these sweet perennials last Spring. A

combination of purple, blue, pink and

white. I love how they are flourishing.

Our teeter totter survived another cold

Winter and looks so playful in the trees.

Wind and Rain, Light and Dark.

Outside as the rain fell, we were safe

and dry, but the crack of thunder were

too loud for my comfort. At least it

wasn't a night time thunder storm.

Still we had to put on some lights as

the sky was so dark, it was hard to see.

Scary Skies.

Driving home the other day was a bit

scary as the skies became dark and windy.

Lightening started to appear and the thunder

soon followed, booming across the landscape.

We had to quickly pull in and make sure everything

was secure before retreating into our sweet cozy home.

My Gardner.

He's been such a big help this year as we

planned out then began to put our first ever

veggie patch in. You can see the fences are

not in just yet, but the boxes are full now.

We'll be putting the pickets up next weekend

and then the pea gravel to cover up the

landscape fabric and the netting to keep our

deer friends from munching on all the veggies.

I truly appreciate how helpful this guy has

been in making sure our veggies are all

planted, then watered and fertilized well.

I love how he is so excited to see growth!

Flowery Gifts.

It's been a crazy few weeks and we have

more events coming up. One of our final

celebrations is our year end family BBQ.

And this year, I was presented with a

basket of pretty flowers and chocolates.

A surprise but so very much appreciated!

Quiet Veranda.

Not a sunny evening but still my favorite

place to sit at night, when it's so quiet.

Hospice Tea.

We had a high tea celebration the week

after Harry and Meghan were married.

Everyone dressed up, complete with a

variety of fascinators and bow ties. We

enjoyed viewing the wedding while

sipping tea and eating scrumptious

treats. Then it was time for our feast

at lunch, then back to the family room

to watch the last part of the wedding

celebrations. Fun day for all at hospice.

Frosty Tree.

I decided to leave this one last little

Christmas decoration up. There are

two and they hand on either side of

the front door. Too sweet to hide away!
