Garden Tours

Gardening is addictive.

It calls for a certain get-in-there-and- ditch- the- garden- gloves mentality, where it's imperative to leave the dishes and dust mites for a rainy day while you weed, move plants, sit and enjoy the result of your labors, feed the birds while you're at it--that kind of thing.

When you can tear your eyes away from your own handiwork, then it's time for a garden tour or several where you can admire the work of people as passionate about it all as you are.



This gardener loves every inch of her property and her front porch says it all.

Her son built the stone wall and using an historical masonry method. I want to adopt him.



While touring about,I photographed this view of lily pads because they looked too perfect to be real and later, I spotted the frog at the bottom center.







Meanwhile back at my personal Eden, the climber roses are calling for their close-up right now so this is my personal garden delight de jour.
