Flowers For Stephanie


In her comment on my previous post, Stephanie makes mention of my flower garden. So, to be obliging, here's a photo from yesterday's wander around the yard.

Too bad you can't hear as well as see this spot, as the pink flowering tree is buzzingly alive with bees and hummingbirds. Pretty soon, it'll be snowing pink petals, and the glory moment will be gone for another year.

The best thing about this spot is that it's now mature, and doesn't take much in the way of everyday maintenance (good thing, because I wouldn't have the time to devote to it just now.)

I'm not going to label this post "off topic," because there IS a horse angle to it--underneath all this green and its blooms is what comes out of the horses! (Manure--it's a gardening gal's best friend.)

Back to the last post: After you are settled in the job, I am sure you will make time for your horses. I too enjoy reviewing H&R old magazines; but, I now give my magazines to a young boy who is horse crazy. I have never met him, but his father works with my husband. Every few months, I just bundle up a few old ones and send them to him. Sometimes, it is hard to give them up but I hope to touch the next generation.

I knew it!!

It looks awesome - you know now I can't let myself slack at all. Cause i tell myself as I begrudgingly walk out to my flowerbeds shoulders slumped draggin my rake behind me, if Juli can do it with all the stuff she has going on - I can at least weed my flowers....at least they look pretty when the work is done.
