good evening from my garden


i just took this photo, the rhododendron is one of 3 that are well over my head at least 8 feet tall, really old plants. they will be covered in these floral clusters, each bud opens up to hold a virtual bouquet of flowers. these are the first to bloom this year. aren't they beautiful? they remind me of an orchid a little bit. today my daughter signed for her allowance and sat for a photo ID card, so things are getting easier for her to do, not as anxious. i have a raspy voice from my sniffles and i joked to her i lost my voice she may have to take over the talking for us. anyway, then she wrote me a note that said "M&M McFlurry" and off we went to mcDonalds. we also went in a grocery store and bought candy and ate some by the river we go to look at and walk around sometimes. yes, as you can see in one of my posts below, i was contacted by a law firm to take down 3 posts. i did what they wanted in that post. so be it.

Did you know how to spell the name of that flower? Or did you know it? Lol! I remember the post you wrote that can't erase it from the mind or can they?

Hey just think If they're picking on you they are leaving someone else alone.

ha ha yes i knew how to spell it, they grow all over here, for short, ppl call them 'rhodies'.

hmm, exactly, we are smart peeps, and we remember everything we ever read, right? lol

Hi Stephany,

The rhodies is beautiful please post more photos as they bloom please.

Candy by the river sounds good.

You must have worried them alot for them to ask you to take those posts down.

The information as Mark says can't be erased from our minds.


Have a good day.
Love,
Herrad

As always I'm jealous of your garden.
I believe I would be another person with a garden like this.
Seriously.
It's one of my dreams having a garden.
Love,
Ana

pretty,

like Ana I am jealous of your garden.

Does Koda eat it?

Stephany said...

It does help having the yard to look at that's for sure. Koda does eat plants in flower pots, so i have to put wire around them! i should take a photo of that for his blog.

Hi Stephany,

Enjoy your garden it is very good to be in contact with nature.

To work with soil and plants, it is so important we all try and grow something wherever we can.

We were watching a gardening programm on the BBC and there was a piece about this person or people who planted stuff wherever they could.

Resulting in beautiful spashes of colour in variety of urban settings.

Love,
Herrad
ps we hoped for a garden too but sadly no garden here just an open balcony which opens on to the gallery running by two other flats.
