SUMMER TIME GARDEN SO GREEN

The warm green fields of summer.
There is a lot to be said for the vast changes that occur where the seasons are true. The promise of Spring, the warm green fields of Summer, the colors and mystique of Fall and the sparkling snowscapes of Winter. They all cause me to appreciate their fleeting beauty.













I am so happy with the many shapes, colors and surprises the green gives me this summer. Walking through the arbors with the now tall willows and soon to climb Black-eyed Susans.





Iceland Poppies


















The little shade garden of wildflowers are a delight with their delicate pastel fancy shapes and habits. A sure place for Faeries and Tea Parties.














The volunteer sunflowers


















The volunteer sunflowers reach their faces into the wild blue sky and the smell of harvested alfalfa permeates the cool night air.

Our new lawn.
Our new lawn has grown in so green! The grassy knoll we constructed with clods
 of leftover grass, grew many wildflowers.




THE VEGETABLE GARDEN


And the bounty of food and the pleasure of it's color.





My bowl runneth over!

















My bowl runneth over...with squashes, beans, Chinese peas, fennel and corn. Heirloom tomatoes and peppers galore.




Green, Green, Green






Corn is not yet as high as an elephant's eye.

Green, Green, Green





The corn is not yet as high as an elephant's eye but... My Deborah Maple is even higher into the sky. about 20 ft.






Our  New Deborah Maple


Oh beautiful earth with your thunderheads.






With your ethereal paper white moons...


Ethereal paper white moons





and your circus blue ribboned sunsets





   Heavenly gilded clouds of  gold.


I am truly where I love to be. Thank you.
