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.

OH I am so, so sorry. I hope your garden will help comfort you. It is really beautiful!
What better a welcome home than a blooming garden. As a gardener myself I know it will be a be a place of strength and calm in the coming months.
AMAZING, I thought of you as I pulled into the garage this afternoon. Praying for you, your mom, family.
So glad you have the garden as companion, friend, a place to handle every bit of grief. Oh those waves of grief. And what a garden can do with them.

I do not know what people do in times of great tribulation who have no garden refuge.
Your friend, Nell Jean, said it so appropriately.
As you and I have talked and shared what our gardens have meant to us in the hardest of times in our life, I know yours again will offer you solace and love. Let me hear how your Mother is doing and again, Sandra, you have my love and concern with you during these days…Fondly – Carolyn KD
