Flowering Love

I can't believe how our garden has filled in over the past

eighteen months.

The backyard was nothing but neglected sod.

Not one single living, flowering thing.

Not one.

No shade trees,

no fruit trees,

no roses,

nothing.

 

 

 

The previous tenants lived

here for 5 years with just that

shoddy sod.

 

 

 

Being the Country Girl I am,

I believe in leaving things in better shape

than when I got them.

 

We built the arbor and garden area,

which will remain went we leave.

 

... and, we added alot of landscaping.

ALOT!

 

Even though it's not "our house",

it is our home until we  move

into "OUR home".

 



 

I have to keep my hands in my pockets at times

because I want to keep planting, but

I know it won't be long till it's time to pack,

so I restrain myself.

And that is so hard to do!

 

All of the plants will remain here

other than my potted plants

and one English Rose.

 

Hopefully the owners and next tenants

will appreciate our

Labor of Love.
