getting a bit warmer


I saw swallows a couple days ago.. meaning the weather should turn a bit warmer soon. It's been a very cold beginning of the year so far, looking forward to a bit of sunshine and warmth.

Here's my son's cat Dib, following me around the garden, posing nicely behind the celandine in the peppermint woods.

June garden


  
Outside the kitchen window.. the yellow ones are Graham Thomas roses, and wild roadside daisies.

                                          Graham Thomas roses

                                          Celestial roses by the back wall.

My shed, slowly being engulfed in nature. Yellow Teasing Georgia roses and pink Mortimaer Sackler roses on the arch.

                                                            My back garden

before and after

My back garden in 2004 and the same view now in 2012. I like to take a photo of the garden each year to see our progress. There are a lot of cuttings, seeds planted and roses ordered.  Trees came from seeds, unwanted trees from neighbors, volunteer seedlings, and the fruit trees were bought.
