Every now and then, I like to post pictures of the yard up here.
a)because it's beautiful.
b)because if I don't post it here, I'll lose the photos or forget where they are.
c)because by the time February rolls around, I will really need to be reminded of green and growing beautiful things.
These are actually photos from July. I'm slow.
Exercise du jour: Jogging 5 miles. It's hot outside, and getting hotter all the time. Friday's run showed me how awful running can be in a heatwave. If I put it off, the temperature won't go below 95 until late tonight. I'm going to try now. Will bring water.
Done! Settled for running around indoors, which does have several advantages. It's only 80 indoors, as opposed to 100 outside, plus there's ready access to cold washcloths and fresh cold water. Still took forever, but at least it's done.

Yep, pretty much the same reasons that I post garden pics occasionally - to remind myself that the garden actually can look pretty now and then! I am loving your blog and your unique take on life.
Thank you for the pictures. My yard has nothing like it, and I will be glad to look at yours winter or summer.
Good for you for running indoors! Indoor exercise is the way to go these days.
Those are beautiful! We had a pretty good summer for plants and flowers here is Florida. Pretty hot and wet for us people, however :-(
Those are gorgeous. I need a yard and a garden. I mean, I really NEED one, ok? The terrace isn't the same. :(
I really need a couple of cute cheap & friendly gardeners, the kind who don't want money... sigh...
I have SUCH a soft spot for roses. It's cliche, I know but My grandma used to grow the most beautiful rose garden and she'd keep glass jars full of dried rose petals in every room of her house. Our "secret code" that we'd whisper to each other was "rose petal, rose petal" - it meant I Love You. I don't know how you feel about communing with other people's dead grandmas Merry but I heartily appreciate it!
They are beautiful...what a great reminder!
