After  five  weeks the garden welcomes me home..

I’m just in time for the blueberry harvest.

Away from the garden for this length of time lets me see it objectively with a more discerning  eye…. Above, the walk from the compost

Major pruning is required of the figs, but I hate to give up the harvest although one tree is shading out the Styrax obassia  (photos  to follow)

Meanwhile, the hydrangeas are coming into their own. Above, the entrance   of the drive from the house, to the garden,

My garden is healing…  peaceful….  as I  start  to realize … I am loosing  my mother….

My posting  will be erratic over the next few months so please bear with me.
