Oh my gosh. I cannot believe how, very, very long it has been since I last made a post about my garden. I guess I have been too pre-occupied with my daily life and all of the demands it makes upon me.
Yes, yes…we all have busy lives, don’t we? However my garden continues to delight me and of course it has changed considerably over the last few years, as I have too.
I really feel that tending and loving a garden whether or not it’s one filled with ornamental plants or like mine, more “native” and drought tolerant which is so important here in southern California, that are lives are just a bit richer for it.
Everyday, I can observe the different birds that find refuge in it and of course plenty of places to hide, built a nest and find food. The seasons evolve, the plants bloom and recede in the hot summer months, only to catapult back into life with the first winter rains.
Lessor Goldfinches and White Crowned sparrows have been enjoying it’s bounty and I know that soon, I will see other avian visitors. Spring is just around the corner and many plants are preparing to put on a show of flowers and color.
I promise that I will be writing more. After all, it’s the garden that provides respite for me, too.
