signs of life in the garden
Some shots from our morning walk, a prettier sky today with glimpses of blue so more color and light to enjoy....
"Chase's tree", in memory of a dear friend, is a scarlet oak that holds on to its leaves longer than the maples and beeches.
We did not clip the grasses so that we could enjoy the foliage in the dreary landscape.
Andy on the lookout for deer. Their trail is in the middle of the woods. We have not seen them much lately.
A stick!
The creek is quietly trickling.
The beeches are still hanging on too but they will be gone soon.
My muse provides me with so many shots. He looks beautiful in the snow.
The little stump that sits next to the hammock in the summer wearing a cap.
The lavender is still green and fresh in the border!
Mother Nature is creating beautiful designs in the pond ice.
The goldfish are amazing, their tiny bodies able to adapt to the freezing temperatures!
Andy and I love wandering around searching for signs of life in the winter garden.

this morning in the garden
Hydrangeas taking on their late season color. Maples have not yet started to change, that will happen in about a month, we'll see how the 3 week drought in July affected our fall color this year.
The honeysuckle arbor has bloomed consistently this summer with regular deadheading. The akebia arbor in the rear is its usual abundant self. The tall fern bed pooped out in August, the gigantic hostas next to the house are gone too.
I love yellow lantana.
Herbs have been clipped so many times this summer and keep on giving.
Cosmos add late season color and life to the border.
We love this fern, it is perfectly fresh from spring to fall, we cannot remember what variety it is.
The hydrangea tree is pretty right now, sculptural witch hazel in foreground.
One of the last coneflowers with salvia.
Front yard lantana, can't have too many pots of this happy plant.
Sedum and limelights hydrangea on front walkway.
I love sedum.
Hello people, I am hairy again and have a white face and no one at the park thinks I am a puppy anymore.
