Now I know this isn't my garden,
but my dear friend Karen took me out for wonderful day of wandering
First we had lunch in an old river town, in a building that is older than ..say garden dirt
We blabbed while enjoying the most delicious green pepper soup
We visited , what I think is the last Ben Franklin around
I bought a new bird feeder.... :)
:Then we visited a public garden
I love visiting gardens.....dreaming, stealing ideas
chatting with others about this plant or that one
that I don't have
(Would you believe that the landscaper actually pulled out my last remaining prairie milkweed!
I even had a tomato cage around it
and they yanked out my Culver's root
and,.....you won't believe this
I WAS HOME
and didn't hear a thing...
oh dear.....better get a dog
cats are useless)
When I happened upon this part of the garden
I was so excited....circle...sections
..a spiritual meaning....loved it
Then my friend Karen pointed to the sign
hee hee giggle giggle
Must be the Coven story I am working on!
dreamy combination
and butterfly weed.....oh sigh.....mine has faded into oblivion
must get some more and plant it full sun this time
:)
Oh this blue
and have you ever seen a more beautiful poppy?
the petals as soft as baby's skin
and on our way out.....a pond
and oh dear.....a frog
I love frogs
have I told you I love frogs?
Thanks Karen...for the day of
joy

ReplyDeleteHello there!!! Oh my goodness...so much to say. Well I love your part of the world during summer....and your pics show it. We just got back yesterday and of course it flew by much too quickly but we had a nice visit with our family. Now about your pics and thoughts. That soup looks delish....green pepper soup!! Yum! Another bird feeder is NEVER a bad thing:) It will keep your winters warm. And as for the milkweed....I'm a little angry about that one. What is it with yard help??!! I'm so glad we fired ours and while my place may be a little wild at times, plants aren't being hacked to death by uneducated people. Milkweed is a gift. In fact, I'm going to write a post on it in July. Once it's removed, it's hard to reestablish again on a property....PLUS it's THE plant to have on the property for butterflies like the Monarch! Grrr.....I will say this....I have to take a break from food. My mother made way too much and my shorts are very tight so I am fasting this week:) I love a farmer's breakfast. We don't have that here and so everyday we began our adventure with a big breakfast....yum yum yum!!! Glad to be back reading your work and hope you're out enjoying the wonderful weather!!:)
ReplyDeleteI know you are glad to be back home...but I know it was a thrill for your family to see you in the flesh...not just skype....they do have skype don't they?
DeleteDon't say that about the milkweed! I am going to go on a field trip along roadways and steal some seeds ....I know what an insect magnet they are..and they smell so good at night.....Ha...waistline.....yeah, we midwesterners love our breakfasts....
Sounds like a great day! I liked the pizza garden!! : )
ReplyDeletewasn't that funny...me thinking it was some mystical garden!!
DeleteSuz,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day you and your friend had. Thanks for sharing the pictures they are always great and the frog was a bonus. I love frogs but haven't seen very many in the last couple of years.
Glad you bought yourself a little treat the birds will love you even more.
I did witch...she knew just where to take me to cheer me up.....oh frogs....and turtles.....I have a toads in the yard.....one especially....I know where he hides...it is a thrill when he hops out
DeleteWhat a lovely day and what a thoughful friend.
ReplyDeleteYou mean your cat didn't come and tell you what was happening. CATS these days... you just can't rely on them. HA!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such a pretty poppy. Do you know what kind it was?
The frog photo is wonderful. I'm glad you had such a nice day.
