A Garden for Tabbie

Serenity

Gardening is about enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil,
getting dirty without feeling guilty, and generally taking the time
to soak up a little peace and serenity.

    Lovely.

    Every time I see or hear the word “serenity,” I think of that Seinfeld episode about George’s dad trying to find peace from his wife. He repeats the mantra “Serenity Now!” It doesn’t work, of course, just allows anger to build up.

    I cannot wait to get back in the garden. Still hobbling around. Hate to move slow! Driving me nuts. But every time I try to go faster, I just manage to hurt more. I’m glad someone’s garden is looking good. Mine is sadly neglected and sunburned.

    That’s funny, iheartfilm! :lol:

    Hugs to you, too, peck. :)

    Brenda I hope you will heal soon. Robert sure is making a fabulous deck for you. I’m so happy for you.

    Thank you kcjewel! :D The yellow flower is Rough-Fruited Cinquefoil. It tends to be invasive, but I still like it. This year they are a bit darker than normal and I don’t know why, but also my photos were taken in the evening which enhanced their color just a bit.

    The color of those roses is luscious and that bee is simply in bee paradise. Such is summer in the garden.

    Yes,the roses are of a perfect coral color. I’d be in bee paradise if I were that bee too! Oh wait, I think I am in paradise anyway…those yellow flowers to me are nothing short of dreamy perfection!
