As a friend of mine is fond of saying, "I have leaped onto my horse and am about to ride off in all directions", and I never understand that more than when summer arrives.
All the apple trees are in full flower, the lilacs and early peonies are one step away from blooming. This is the time of year I really like best, when the tidying up is done and all those wonderful varied mounds of green are about to turn into something else. All that potential, all those possiblities.
You have worked so hard and now it's time to sit back and enjoy. Such a lovely photo, I would LOVE to be there!
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful weekend, dear.
Beautiful photo, JT. All we gots in dandelions. Okay by me.
ReplyDelete(You said peonies....made me think what the Skonkmeister man would reply)
we gots dandelions and escaped wild purple violets and wild strawberries on the lawn; obviously one must mow around all this, which means about 6 sq ft of grass actually gets cut.
ReplyDeleteThis is a view from the upstairs window, and its always like waiting for the curtain to rise and the show to start.
I can hear him too, Ron. I think we always will.
yes we are still mowing, mulching and moving plants around as well. Looking forward to sitting back and enjoying the work.
ReplyDeleteWork and work and more work, but oh it's so worth it. Lovely photo!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful view. I think it is worth all the work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, lush picture!
ReplyDeletesummer is a busy time! Enjoy- pause and smell the roses too!
ReplyDeleteoh it is work, but fun, because its a 'want to' rather than a "have to'-- and the pleasure comes when I go out in the early morning just as the sun rises, and turn the corner by the stone wall and just inhale...
ReplyDeleteI love having the Summer to look forward to, whether it's a good one or not :)
