Follow me. Garden in progress.

Garden Magic:

This is the garden's magic,

That through the sunny hours The gardener who tends it, Himself outgrows his flowers.

He grows by gift of patience, Since he who sows must know That only in the Lord's good time Does any seedling grow.

He learns from buds unfolding, From each tight leaf unfurled, That his own heart, expanding, Is one with all the world.

He bares his head to sunshine, His bending back a sign Of grace, and every shower becomes His sacramental wine.

And when at last his labors Bring forth the very stuff And substance of all beauty .

This is reward enough.-

Just a few pictures of my plants, they are starting to grow and have more flowers every day. We did some improvements adding a few more solar lights, and still waiting for the other seeds to start coming out.

Les presento algunas de las plantas que siguen creciendo y empiezan a dar flores esta temporada. Hicimos algunos arreglos como agregar luces solares y aun espero que germinen las otras semillas para seguir plantando.

A nice Pin Cushion.

This piece was left alone in my kitchen, I had change all the dinnerware last year, I saw somewhere this idea long ago and with few materials I had, I put together this pin cushion, I like the result. Can be a perfect gift to somebody. Look in your kitchen, you may find a variety of items that you may not use and can be transform in something else. Use your imagination.

Esta pieza la encontre sola en la cocina,ya que cambie la vajilla el ano pasado . En algun lugar vi esta idea hace tiempo,y usando materiales que tenia a mano logre hacer este alfiletero. Me gusta el resultado, puede ser el regalo perfecto para alguien. Busca en tu cocina puedes tener muchas cosas que podrias transformar en algo diferente y util. Usa tu imaginacion.

Browny and Tiger.

This Rabbit name is Browny, he likes water, just took a bath last week. He's only seven months old.

Tiger is a friendly cat, he love to be in the porch and looks patiently for and opportunity when somebody open the back door, he will fly out. Lol. We welcome him to this place when he showed around and seems to have no other place and nobody else in the neighbourhood was interested in offer him a home.We had rescued two more cats previously , they are all good friends to each other.

A Victorian Box.

How wonderful working with laces, and soft fabrics,Velvets, Beads, Rosettes, Cherubs, I love the romantic feeling. This box have a Gorgeous Color, it was a nice project from last week, another work of art.

Hydrangea

I got this Hydrangea from Lowes and it was on sale for $2.00 dollars, it was only two leaves and it was dying all dry. This picture is two weeks later. And the next one is the actual size, a month later. I don't know what color it is either, let's hope it will be a nice blue or white one.

Wisteria and Lilacs.

Wisteria are vigorous, twining vines with wide landscape usage where space permits and gardeners are committed to keeping them in bounds like I do. Among their attributes are hardiness, vigor, longevity and the ability to climb high. They are greatly valued for their large, pendulous flower clusters that occur in the spring. Flowers are pea-like and may be white, pink, lilac-blue, bluish-purple or purple in color. The plant climbs by means of twining stems and has alternate, pinnately compound leaves. I got this one 3 years ago and is the first time is blooming.

Lilacs are small trees, we have a lot of them growing in the yard also, Aside from Roses, there is no flower as beautiful and aromatic as Lilacs. Of the two, Lilacs have a stronger scent that carries quite a distance. Unfortunately, Lilacs bloom for only a very brief couple weeks in the spring.

Progress in my Garden.

We planted some Ferns yesterday around the borders of the house, they like plenty water and shade. This is just the beginning, I hope I can keep update with more in the days ahead. Every Spring I try to dedicate a few hours before Sunset to see how I can improve the garden. I love gardening, is an scape to all the stress of work, and an extension of decorating a house. The exterior should be nice too. Give love to your garden and get wonderful results back.

This tree is magical, I can see it through my window, is spectacular now with this other background.

Tulips still blooming, Hyacinths, parsley, rose and a pine bush.

This pansies are happy here, they are in fact all red, but in this picture seems to be orange. There is another Rosemary plant growing along.

I think there is a Lemon Balm plant growing in the middle of this plants, you can also see one of my little mosaics (That was from last year)

The Lilac is all bloom, has an exquisite fragrance.

I love Wisterias, this one is having the first flowers. Never had flowers before.
