Sometimes you just need to record what is happening in the garden and take in the beauty. It’s something I am learning as I grow older.
A beautiful sunset from under our pergola. We spent an afternoon in May trying to figure out how to get a bigger pergola. But because our back patio is on a curve, and we have a lot of windows, there simply is not a good way to do anything different than what we have. Without significant earthworks, that is. Maybe some day.
A part of the garden I don't normally photograph. A view back to teh shed after freshly weeding. Firewheel has been a real highlight this year, and the kidneywood has gotten huge. We're still waiting from some cenizo to grow and block the view from the trail behind our house. At least that's what I say, but all the birds nesting in the bushes we have now make me long for more.
Another view I don't norally post. This is looking up from our gate out onto the trail. We have another kidneywood and some salvias. I'm adding some gulf muhly, although I'm sure it'll be unhappy with the lack of water.
A view of the back of the house and Junie. My Buffalo Grass sod is still fighting to hold on, but there are plenty of other grasses mixed in. I do love that it is both structured and feels like a habitat garden. We have baby birds, and lots of lizards, and I even saw a squirrel fall out of the tree the other day. It was fine. Just had the wind knocked out of it.
