So now when I walk out of the house or come home to it, I will be oh so very happy to see the patio.
Two and a half days of weeding, raking, moving pots, planting a few flowers, a tomato (a squash plant from Kerrie H.) and one load to the dumps and it looks great.
Ahhhhhhhhh.
As I listen to the rain hit the windows . . . . again and again,
(We have had rain since we stopped having problems with pollen. So I have yet to enjoy the out doors.)
I close my eyes and imagine what such a garden would be like. Even my sister's patio and garden can't be enjoyed since she lives nearby. . . . .
Sigh.
I am glad for you that you have that sanctuary to go to after a long day, or even an early morning time of peacefulness.
It's lovely.

It does look great! This little buddha guy on his pink ball is just the best. I bet your porch looks so cozy at night with the big lanterns lit...

I love freshly cleaned, planted gardens...
