"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Garden View

"She cleared out all of her old ideas of things until she could hear her own joy with almost no effort at all."  flying edna

I know I'm a broken record....but it's been a spectacular spring so far and the plants and blooms have loved it. Paul and I have too! 

This is one of my favorite garden views...and I wanted to share how it was progressing. And...I secretly wanted to show off off my new funky shoes.

Last fall I divided most of the crowded plants. I think it's coming along and going to fill in nicely with just enough breathing room. 

The blue salvia are for the hummingbirds and they've been visiting regularly. 

This whole patio garden is lush and green and I'm almost at the point where I'll be in maintenance mode with all the gardens and I can just sit back and enjoy it all.

Then sometime soon my attention will turn more towards art again. 

But I did do a tiny bit of machine stitching today. I did the decorative stitching on the gelli prints a while back...but now have plans for this little gem!

The oblong rock that looks like a potato has a great story that goes along with it and because of that story it will always have a prominent place in my garden. https://joyfulputtering.blogspot.com/2020/05/rock-in-garden.html

    MaryAnn, your posts always cap my day with joy! Your garden looks magnificent, and I love the tease of seeing that stitched gelli print piece in process.

    AND, regarding your potato rock: 1. SO sweet that it ties you to your mom. 2. It triggers a fond memory from 7th grade science class with Mrs. Small who brought such a rock to class one day as show-and-tell and shared that she and her husband would periodically, when entertaining dinner guests who'd not been to their home before, serve a meal that included baked potatoes … which she'd wrap tin foil 'jackets,' serving the rock to one of her unwitting guests!
