Friday

This morning I was sitting in my desk chair looking out into the front patio garden and wondered what was making a rose stem hang way down. I thought maybe a raccoon had been climbing around the area, and went out to check. Well I picked up the branch and quickly dropped it, as I had grabbed hold of a critter. YIKES. I believe it is some sort of moth caterpillar, maybe a Sphinx moth.


















My shed's garden hanging in there barely.








One of the most delightful things about gardening
is the freemasonry it gives with other gardeners,
and the interest and pleasure all gardeners get by visiting
other people's gardens.
We all have a lot to learn
and in every new garden there is a chance of finding inspiration
- new flowers, different arrangement or fresh treatment for old subjects.
Even if it is a garden you know by heart
there are twelve months in the year
and every month means a different garden,
and the discovery of things
unexpected all the rest of the year.
Margery Fish, We Made a Garden, 1956
