I am spellbound by the beauty of the blooming peonies, their fragrance and color and mood created.  At last I can begin processing and posting the new designs here and at the Promise Gardens blog.  Today is beautiful, gorgeous color, too windy for outdoor photography (30mph gusts) but the sunlight and radiance are lighting up the rooms so peonies are adding to the ambience to my delight.

A Lovely Garden Ride

How absolutely exquisite! This is perfection for that old bike in our garden. At first, I considered new paint in bright primary colors of reds, yellows but after this image, I am captivated by the pinks, lavenders, white and would be so “shabby chic” with the  “purple” or pastel door”!  {see post below}  I am in pursuit…it is all coming together so use your imagination – a pink bike overflowing with pastel flowers parked outside of the purple/lavender doors…such an invitation of delight to enter…the path to the secret garden…

Happiness is a Garden Cart

This is a tool that every gardener needs.  Forget old wheelbarrows (which we now use for planters) and buy one of these.  I just purchased my second cart.  I now have one for planting/feeding gardening chores and one for serious garden hauling.  It is so handy when you have to move around a large garden and gives you everything at easy reach and that is gardening happiness indeed.

The cart is available at Lowes, Home Depot and Tractor Supply stores.
