It's Time

Yes, it's time...

The gardens are flourishing


The last container planted


 The table is open


and friends are waiting



Yes, it's time for a cool beverage


and a good book.


Bring on summer!

I'll meet you on the terrace in five....

May you find time to enjoy the fruits of your labor this week.

    I love your photos - especially your drink dispenser. Is that homemade lemonade? Jx

    I wonder what that deliciously refreshing-looking drink is Bonnie? Just lemonade?
    I love your squirrel - do they really get close to you?
    Your courtyard looks like a haven. If you ever need an extra guest...

      Faisal, These squirrels are fearless! They know I am harmless although I act tough when I find one wrapped around a bird feeder. God love 'em.

    What a pleasant spot to while away an afternoon with a good book. I'm off to check out that title.

    Best,

    Everything looks perfect and I would love to join you for some cool lemonade in your beautiful garden.

    I also finished my gardens last week with the final pot planted and the last of the mulch spread. I breathed a sigh of great relief. Then I went to my favorite nursery with my daughter to get some flowers for HER. Needless to say, I found something special that I did not have, but had to have for MY gardens. Then the rains came and my bushes grew another foot overnight. Gardens, like children, are never done and always need tender care and love.

      Arleen I agree, the plants may be in the ground, but the gardening is never finished. I had to stop myself from dropping by the nursery on the way home this afternoon. Have a wonderful week. Bonnie
