I took a walk through the garden this morning to see what was new and found the "Firecracker" clematis blooming.
The plants in H's planting boxes have begun to bloom. They each have a spike, black and lime green sweet potatoes, pink verbena and a beautiful double petaled, swirled petunia. Can you tell I like pink?
I'm always looking for interesting pieces of driftwood while walking along the rocky shore. A few days ago, I found a very straight piece about 7 feet long with a "hook" on it. H just rolled his eyes and asked what in the world I was going to do with that thing as it didn't have the usual snarls and whirls I find unique in driftwood. Well...... why buy those expensive wrought iron shepherd's hooks when Mother Nature and the sea provides perfectly good ones free!
I have a small planting bed in the middle of the yard which I refer to as my "Zen Garden". The rock sculpture changes frequently when the rocks fall, or I just take a notion to change things around a bit. Finding the rock's center of gravity often takes a few minutes of calm concentration and deep breathing.

I am going to have to try that rock balancing thing, this is the secon time I read about it this week!
Your boxes look good. I like pink, too, and used a lot of it this year.
I am jealous of your stick! It really looks good like that.
What are you going to do when your plant gets huge?
I love your driftwood shepard's hook.
That banana tree must love the conditions you are providing. I would not be surprised to see you peeling a banana for your cereal soon.
The rock thing is neat, too. With all the rocks I have in my rockwall garden, I should try that!
I love your rock sculpture...I can just see you pottering around trying to balance it :) Isn't it amazing the simple creative things you can do with rocks and sticks? Your shephard's crook is neat :)
Bananas in Maine, well I never! That's a healthy looking plant. Good for you!
Don't you just love clematis?
The planters are looking very pretty. I love pink too :)
Sounds like you had a fun time with your company. It's good to spend some time with family and there are so many lovely places to take them up there.
