Here’s a photo of this spring’s garden project – a stone patio for the hammock and me in a new shade garden.<\/p>\n

Some planting was done last fall in anticipation of things to come. I had ordered an Orange Crown Imperial and this is what bloomed! Not sure what it is – maybe some kind of Allium? Whatever, it’s not a Crown Imperial! Too bad I didn’t take the picture last week when there were more things blooming.<\/p>\n

This little plant is Black Brass Buttons. It looks like a teeny tiny fern and seems quite happy in the space between the steps up to the deck.<\/p>\n

Sunday afternoon was lovely after the rain and the breeze was so fresh and filled with the scent of flowers, I had some hammock time in the shade garden with a good book- “Angle of Repose” by Wallace Stegner. The birds and their songs made it hard to concentrate though. We have the prettiest birds! Baltimore Orioles, Indigo Buntings, Cardinals, Goldfinches, Summer Tanagers, Hummingbirds and so many less colorful ones – I could do a bird colorwheel!<\/p>\n

I have not been doing any quilty things lately. The Alaska trip is just days away and the planning and the prep has taken all of my attention. I guess I don’t travel enough for fun to make it routine and it actually seems a bit of an ordeal, but I am sure it will be worth it! We are really looking forward to getting away and putting the daily demands aside for a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
