Open Call: A Garden Sanctuary

Rate: 10 Flag

We are hardly urban living in or next to a nature's sanctuary. It is quite isolated so we still have Bambi and her tribe (I"m winning organically thus far this year!) foxes, coyotes, feral cats (thank yew! thank yew! to all the idiots who dump their animals on the old kindly farmer!)  and two swings: one for the front yard and one for the back yard. I don't garden all that well but I write checks pretty well for Tall Girl to work her magic. Below is some of her magic that I see.

I like sharing photos of our garden with foks and seeing theirs, so break out the Brownie Camera!
Wonderful pictures Patie, I agree, gardens are places to renew and sometimes even work out our stresses through physical labor.
Such beauty you have there!_r
Lovely photos and garden. Gives one a feeling of...ahhhhh...
Beautiful garden, even if it is paid for. I don't have a green thumb either.
I thank you for the pretty flowers. It's on the cusp here . . . just on moving from lush and green to the "butt end of summer" as my friend and fellow OSer sixtycandles describes it.
It is cool how you titled them all. Very nice.
Gorgeous stuff. What a beautiful peace of paradise you have created!
Rita: Nothing gives me more pleasure than to be in my yard swing with my walking stick and my puppers gathering around my feet, playing puppy games and driving Tall Girl crazy leaping through our flowers. Thanks for dropping by.
Joan: thanks and good to see you.
Just Cathy: it is indeed a big ahhhhh
Sheepdg and Scanner: Baby Girl just baked the most amazing dewberry/blueberry cobbler with fruit from our own vines! since she and I have to watch our sugar, we gave Splenda a try and yummmmmms! (salivating yet? ) thands for the peak.
Dina: One of the biggest shocks I got when I really began to understand and 'see' Africa is how green and mountainous parts of it is.
Lovely!

(Now I'm off to slap Dr. Spudman).
Beautiful! And I remember those Brownie Cameras!
Steve: Thanks! good luck finding Spudman..I think he is still fishing.
MAWB: You know I hadn't thought of them in years until I was having problems with my Nikon D70 and grumbled about too many choices and I should just have a brownie camera! Glad someone else remembers them.
