As I've gotten older, I've come to find great joy in glancing out into our garden to see an array of plants & flowers welcoming feathered & furry friends.
"Ricky" worked hard to add plants to our old house and I found myself wondering how I could bear to leave these little seedlings that were now blooming and maturing...
...and then I viewed our new home...
...a veritable 'Garden of Eden!!!
...and discovered a "secret garden" on the side of the house...
...with a bench swing...
...and home to beauties like this Turks Cap...
...and this heavenly Gardenia:)
On the other side of the house is a "Pixie Hollow" entry...
...revealing a plethora of ground cover...
...Nandinas, including berries "for the baby red birds"...
...Plumbagos that are just starting to bloom...
...a Bougainvillea...
...Lantana...
...Mexican Heather...

There is a herb garden with Lemon Verbena, Chives & Rosemary thriving...
...and we've discovered a Banana tree and some Blackberry bushes too:)
Our little Ms are loving all the shade and their swing set just barely fits amidst all the landscaping & trees!
What a blessing to inherit this "Garden of Eden"- I'm basking in its glory each time I look out the window and Jonah squawks with delight at the myriad of God's creation deposited in our new home:)
