Well, time for a new year. A new beginning for my yard and for my gardening education. Ive got a good start on my compost bin. It might be a little silly to be so excited over dirt, but, its homemade fertilizer and I must be going green.





My fountain has never looked better. it sounds beautiful and the spray of water when the winds blow, waters my lilies and irises.

I am adding rocks and flowers a little at a time. I'm going to get another waterlily for the pond this year. maybe even some more hens and chicks.

This is my lilac tree. well, it used to be a topiary but, I cut it down to encourage a bush. I'm hoping it brings more blooms. And, by the way, lilacs are my most favorite flower there is in the whole world. I wish i could have dozens of them in my yard.
