Seventeen years ago, this lot had a newly built house and a few trees. After building the house, I had a vision and a dream of what the grounds could become.
The world is my palette .... that thought is a constant wandering through my mind. And, so the onslaught of the dirt and empty space began all those years ago.
Even today, there is still work to be done and new opportunities. The new shed provides a chance to re-structure and create something new. I love dirt! It gets all my nerves stimulated.
Every brick, every garden, every tree ... was once a dream in my head that has found it's way out through my hands.
Each day that I have the privilege to work in the gardens is a day of renewal. It's a happy day of self work that works its way out into an ever changing blaze of color and texture.
Once I step back, strip of my work gloves, and readjust the crick in my back ... my thoughts go to .... how can I share this.
I see drivers-by look at the gardens. :-)
I have shared the gardens on HGTV (35,800 hits on my Rate My Space). In fact, they featured one of my shots on Facebook as a Sunday feature garden!
Now I get to share it on blog! There are about 25 counties following me, almost 19,000 hits.
My hope is that what has been created, provides others with a few minutes of enjoyment.
My wish is that I could walk the gardens with you and tell you the stories of each garden, each plant ... it's a chapter book.
It will be forever changing, with new chapters being added .... authored by an ever changing person.
