"There can be no other occupation like
Gardening in which,
if you were to creep up
behind someone at their work,
You would find them
Smiling."

The Children's GardenThis is where you can find me this weekend.
And yes, I'll be smiling!

If you pinch new shoots at the growing points, you'll encourage branching, which produces more growth for flowering.
I KNOW you will be smiling working in your children's garden... especially if you are working with a grandbaby! =)
ReplyDeleteHappy Gardening.... and have a wonderful weekend :)
ReplyDeleteOh, that last picture is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's 86 degrees here, but the humidity is 90%. I've done all the gardening I can stand. Everything looks so pretty and the lilies are starting to bloom. Your pictures are so pretty!

Ohhh, how I would love to join you in your beautiful garden! I love the children's garden, I bet Lulu and Levi love it. You need to come to Ohio and teach me how to grow those beautiful roses! I saw the ones you took to Lulu last week and wished I had the ability to smell them through the computer!

Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful spot for you and your sweet grandkids!
ReplyDeleteMy grandson and I did a bit of gardening ourselves this afternoon. But we had to work in the garage because it's been pouring cats and dogs all day!
Your yard looks so nicely manicured and weed free! I've got a lot of work to do! :)
Beautiful flower pics!
Blessings!
Love me some gardening!
ReplyDeleteWe have beautiful gardens all around our home and pool that I lovingly enjoy but have no part in their planting or weeding. However, when anyone compliments them, instead of confessing that Jim does it all, I just say thank you. Looking forward to seeing more of your gardens . . .
ReplyDeleteI love this quote, so true so true!
ReplyDeleteI did some gardening on Thursday and was smiling the whole time! Hopefully I'll finish up planting my flowers this evening when it's not so hot.
Have fun gardening, and smiling!
