It's the last day of 2011.....To be honest, my garden has spent most of this year in a mess! I started the pond last February, so I have mounds of dirt just about everywhere you look :( Policy is: I can not start a new project until the last one is finished.....which leaves me tormented with dreams of my butterfly balcony, the bunny trail, and new raised veggies plots...but alas...I must finish the pond first! The good news..I'm almost there! So I have great expectations for the garden in 2012...As I walked through the garden this last day of 2011....I must admit even amongst the mess and neglect..the flowers just keep giving...
Even the birdseed is blooming!
My Mystery Rose (OGR shrub)
Bermuda Mystery Rose: Kathleen
New Dawn
It's been a good year...with the larger pond finally getting started, my oldest graduated from High School, the pool we've been waiting for 9 yrs...was put in....and even with the economy being tough....this family has weathered the storm very well.....modification in life is easy for me.....I always said you can plop me down anywhere and I will make it a home...my needs are small and my desires are pretty simple..Just like this Queen:
A tranquil place to raise my kids.......
A little food on the table........
And I emerge one happy bee...uhhh. butterfly :)
So as the year ends...I must Thank my Jesus for every little thing I have, and the Beautiful World he has placed me in to enjoy!
First year with Flowers on the DH's Camellia,
Firecracker Bush
The towering Butterfly weed with butterfly!
My favorite Lavender Pentas
And my faithful morning hello from the spiderwort
I find no greater peace than when I step into the garden alone with God and just converse! May your New Year be happy, full of contentment and prosperity! and Don't forget to spread some seed.......... janine
