A feast for all senses, scent, sight, sound, taste, touch.
Scent, mmm,the sweet scent of nicotiana which reminds me of honeyed vanilla on warm sultry evenings, lilacs in the spring, fresh cut grass, the smell of a rain shower, roses mingling everywhere....
Sight, the beauty of watching butterflies flitting from flower to flower, color combinations of flowers, buds, leaves, how the sight of a long awaited flower bursting into bloom cheers the heart......
Sound, hearing the birds in the morning, the sound of June bugs against the screens, the rumble of a thunderstorm rolling in and knowing the gardens will be getting a drink......
Taste, to gather the first sun warmed tomato from the vine, harvesting herbs to flavor home cookin', edible flowers to garnish salads......
Touch, the soft leaves of lambs ear, the prickly sensatin of moving aside raspberry canes to get at the sweet succulent fruit, the texture of the rocks that border the flower beds....
