This is for my blog friend Sharon in California who wondered what my garden looks like. In reality, it is the landscaping around my house. We've planted the bushes and perennials in various stages, each year adding to another section around our home. In the beginning, it was a pile of clay-like dirt, patchy grass and overgrown bushes. I'm not much of a gardener (meaning gardening isn't my "thing" - I'd rather write a story or go hiking), but I do enjoy pulling down my driveway and the beautiful view the greenery creates. Afer a long day of weeding, my oldest son informed me he will someday live in a house in the woods where there will be no gardening! "Of course," I said, "You do know there will be other work to do living in the woods..."


The first day of Autumn is right around the cornor, with the crisp cool weather, changing colors of the trees from green to multiple shades of red, orange, and gold, and delicious apples and pumpkin pies. Happy Autumn to you all!
Thank you Lord for your goodness! "But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season." Psalm 1:2,3
Live the adventure,

Amen, Yes, Blessed is the man......
God gives each of of talents. Gardening just happens to be one of mine. "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it." Genesis 2:15
And that's what I do.
When I get my gardens all in order I will post a photo to show you what I take care of.
Very lovely.

It's so fun catching a glimpse of your home! Greenery looks so peaceful--it calms the heart. I love the plants you have chosen. Such nice colors.
Fall has not come to Southern California yet..but it's fighting its way in, with a cooler day here and there. Today it is 94 and sunny!
Your "garden" looks beautiful! :=)
Gardening inspires me to write.
I love yours. Seems there are layers of plantings, which make it more interesting.
Oh it's so nice, Susan. I love the way you have the greenery all around. I know how that takes years to get like that as that is the way it was at my mom's house. I miss going there since she went to her permanent home in glory.
Haven't we had a gorgeous weekend? (I know you get the same weather as me.) So glad fall is here!
Enjoyed seeing a little aspect of your life here, Susan
