The Garden

I finally got my three gardens all planted the other night, and my mom called, saying "are you ready to put my flowers in!" Wow, I asked God for a little gardening job in heaven, and He started already. lol

I want to get some photos of my garden on the blog, but I think I'll wait until July, when the flowers are in full bloom. I think it looks great, but so does a five-year-old when they draw their first gangly stick guy with spider hands and club feet, "Wow, that looks great, honey!" I say, as does my friends, except they don't call me honey. In fact they don't call me at all...sniff.

I've been creative with curvy lines that parallel each other forming a walking path, and I've sunk a large boulder in the soil surrounded by smaller ones amongst the flowers. I bought two victorian-like planters that stand tall and put a basket of flowers in each. They stand at each end of the garden that borders the sidewalk. My best find was a habiscus tree that I put into a planter, and recessed in the kidney shaped garden. It looks cool, and gives the second garden height. These are really small gardens, but they're cute.

Come and sit with me by the garden in the shade of the habiscus tree, I'll give you a glass of iced tea and we'll gab about God.
