My tomatoes are gone. We didn't water them one day - one day! - and they died in that one day's lapse! I can only imagine how beautiful Yellowstone must be with fields of wildflowers.

I just think it's important to have a time to enjoy, not always work. I worked for many years without really enjoying but since starting this blog, due to my need for pictures, I've found I really love just going out there to just find something HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-29353141868903654692011-08-07T14:36:44.367-07:002011-08-07T14:36:44.367-07:00Absolutely lovely.

Our bedroom looks out on the perennial beds. From the great room the expanse of windows takes in the glen garden and from my study I can see the pond garden. The walk then is to the vegetable garden.

I also try to take a walk through the garden every day if possible, so not always in the morning, to check on the plants and take in their beauty.
