MORE GARDEN BLOOMS

The garden is doing great at the moment what with the warmth and the regular rain. The green is still looking fresh and lush and it makes me feel zen. Sitting on the terrace with a drink and watching it all grow and watching the birds on the feeders and near the pond for a bath, watching the bee’s and the dragonflies drinking in the pond and eating here and there, I can definitely say I enjoy it a lot !
