The Cistern is Open

Summer is coming. The cistern is open.  It recirculates collected rain water.
 My kale is planted.

 Garden jewelry.

 Garden faces.

 My outdoor sink is turned on too.


 Hollyhocks and lupine.

 Sunflowers.  Teddy eats the leaves on these.

 Garden whimsy.

 A lot of boxwoods to trim.

Teddy keeping watch.
 I'm thinking of building raised stone beds here.

Everything looks so beautiful, lush and green! Hollyhocks are one of my most favourite heritage flowers. They always make me feel like a little girl again when I see some.

Have a great day!

Your garden constantly inspired me. If I could come up with a 1/4 of what you have, I'd never want to leave. Someday, time, hard work, right? Beautiful just beautiful....
