Inspiration in a Garden
I circled through my local Lowe's garden area, earlier this week.
Ready to plant a few beauties. The plants were trying to hide from me. They know me well.
This is what happens between plants and me in a typical spring......
1. I buy some nice plants and place them in my yard and vow to water them daily until the first frost in October.
2. I diligently water the plants.
3. Then it gets hot outside. Really, really hot and humid -and don't try and tell me you know what I mean by 'hot' unless you have personally spent an entire summer in Georgia.
4. So, I miss a day .......or two .....or three ..
and the plants start to wilt and they (the plants) look at me like they want me to take them back to the garden center.
5. I begin rationalizing the expense of having an irrigation system installed. "After all, that is the only way to have a pretty garden, right?"
6. Some of the plants die, some don't.
7. Vow to do better, next year.
Meanwhile - I can dream..........

These photos are gorgeous. That blue fence/gate with the garden path is really calling my name this morning. So pretty...
