Garden Explosion!


Just a few snaps from our Garden today...

Peony 

We only have one

But

It is going crazy with blooms!


It was supposed to be 

a very productive week 

in the Garden last week...

But the Wildfire Smoke situation
 was way beyond what my system could take.


I got this done last Monday

As you can see

We are building up beds as we go

with our cardboard acting as weed block

or as it appeared to be

very fun toys 
for the baby foxes to rip up

& drag all over

and I wouldn't have it any different...



The Summer Wine Nine Bark came into its own this year

Took a few years

but

worth the wait.


Humming Bird Loving the Irises

we love them too!


Cranesbill Geranium

Has become a full shrub for us here...

and 3 others have popped up for us in not so far off spots....

Free plants 

Thank Goodness!!!

There are other regions of garden bed building here

The process is going way too slow for me

especially not being able to be out in it last week...

We have propagations of plants from cuttings that are doing well...

There are some nice bits of colorful 
vertical interest...

And

We finally got our Mailbox!
after 7yrs
installed and functional
&
Giving me more thoughts on Landscaping for 
minimal
Low maintenance
scenarios around it...

Evergreen Groundcovers anyone...???

Anyway

Life is happening at lightspeed over here...

Posts may be intermittent while a few wrinkles 
get ironed out
lots of decisions that require
full attention and time.

Wish us luck!

I Spoke To Trees: 31~ Feather House Holiday

 


31: 


Feather House Holiday 


Shrink


Me


Down to size 


Fit me 


To your nest


I will witness 


You 


On your 


Feather House Holiday 


That you 


Withdrew to


Expertly


In fashion 


Leaving 


All


Of us 


Behind 


In the woods


The spark


Sense memory 


Sits


On digital


Formats


Organic 


&


Non


Buzzing 


As only


The heartbeat 


Flutter 


Of wings 


Could 


Come 


Inspecting 


And Inviting 


Me


To flirt along

I Spoke To Trees: 30~ 20lb Moth

 


30: 20lb Moth


20 Pound Moth


Heavy


With thought 


Breaking 


The Haunting


Branches 


In the night 


Dust


Saw


Dusk


I’m setting 


Up camp


Wearing


A


Firefly Mask


Mocking


Human Behavior 


Just


Developing


To earn 


Your trust 


I’ve mapped 


Your trails


You thought 


Only You blazed 


Wait 


Till the biscuits 


Find out


Your mouths


&


Moths


Are the ones


Not to touch


For Fear 


Of being


Full


Of crumbs

I Spoke To Trees: 29~Ocean Eyes

 




29: Ocean Eyes

Ocean Eyes


Watched it all fall by


Rained down


Taken a bite


As a reef 


Of moss


To crash on


Kept 


My sails


In a stone bath


Making waves


As your mother


Calls


You win some


You 


Lose


Someone


Dancing 


Past the edge 


Of the sand


Voices 


Frogs


Getting lost


In the bottom 


Of the sky


And


Reflecting


In Ocean Eyes
