Hello everyone,
I hope you are enjoying your week.
We have been busy here but I am loving
being out in the garden in this beautiful
sunny weather.
Today, I thought you might like to see
our little secret garden which is tucked
in behind our barn and enclosed on the
other sides by trees and fences.
So, let's go through the arbor built by
my husband several years ago.
A Preston lilac on the right is in bloom
and on the left are roses,hardy geranium
lady's mantle and hostas.
A new jackmani clematis with
Nelly Noser on the other side.
Peeking through the garden gate.
The old cast iron stove on the right
was a road side find several years ago
and it makes a good planter now.
I love this little secret garden when the
white Magician Deutiza are blooming.
There are four of them.
Tucked into the climbing hydrangea
is a water fountain adding a gentle
sound of water cascading down.
Every year we have robins that build
their nest in the vine. Some years finches
nest in the deutizas as well.
You can see Martha(our statue) at
the back and if you look closely you can
see there is a mirror in behind her adding
interest to the garden. Virginia creeper is
growing around her.
It has filled up nicely in here since the
spring.
The peonies are popping daily
and you might remember that
I have a passion for peonies so
we have over one hundred and
thirty of them. My Dad gave me my
first ones over 25 years ago and I
wish I could tour the garden with
him now. He passed away 21 years
ago.
Touches of whimsy in the
garden.
There's Martha carrying those
jugs of water for the garden.

I have been taking lots of
garden photos so all I need
is a little free time to post
them.
If you would like to see an
elegant white lunch in this
garden check it out here.
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn
