“I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses….” I spend time in the garden when I’m not feeling well (and when I’m feeling great). Nearly broke my little finger yesterday and it has caused some pain and discomfort. ~~ Oh joy, earlier today I saw all five recently fledged baby Bluebirds–with Mama–at the mealworm feeder. I’m so glad they survived the miserable weather. ~~ Checked the bird house nest and all four baby Carolina Chickadees have fledged.
The welcome mat is out; y’all come.
Hanging by my front door.
Y’all come; sit awhile.

Such a beautiful old tree.

Hey, that’s for the birds.
Rosemary and Aloe share the shade.
I’m constantly picking off new growth on the stump.
All came from North Carolina.

Loved seeing your plants. Just have to get over to see the real things. You surely have a green thumb.
