Irene is a girl after my own heart. I'd have scoffed up cookies, too.

I said, "In the rain and this wind?" He said, "Mom, you can't sit around waiting for ideal conditions to do stuff." Wise one.<br />Your tour looked delightful even in a drizzle. Sorry about that speeding ticket. Getting a ticket for going 35 is just wrong but I suppose cities have to supplement their income somehow.

Instead I had to water by hand. I loved Malificent, too.

I live in the South West of the UK and found your blog whilst looking for ideas for my new garden.Whilst new to us as we moved in last year,it is actually a very mature but neglected garden, full of treasures. So far I have re-instated a stumpery and am reclaiming a hidden cut flower area with touches of whimsy, thanks to Lewis Carroll! My feelings about the garden veer between daunted and excited, but blogs such as yours inspire.

Instead, I made a small dent in my own garden chores and was happy to spend the day being productive. I'm thinking of opening my own garden for the NPA next summer. The point is to share the differences in our gardens. My garden can always serve as an example of what not to do, right? Perhaps I'l have a sign printed - “If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.” outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-68343792321146285292016-05-15T18:29:33.488-07:002016-05-15T18:29:33.488-07:00The gardens are beautiful, and so is Irene.

Grand girl also loves to comment on the shapes and colors. I don't know if you can make a living as a botanist but I think she'd enjoy it if she stays interested. <br /><br />The yards you showed were just gorgeous. Although I'm often a little jealous, I love to see what other people have done with their yards - and if you add in a cookie - a perfect day.
