Six Years Later, New Tricks

"It's no Tick Acres. There's no Point of Surrender or Dog Paradise. But the house sits high, away from hillside springs and downtown Bloomington is just a few blocks away. The flower garden is tiny, and the veggie garden is a block and a half away. Steve and I like to think that we are lucky. And the dogs, rich with occasional romps in the nearby forests and long walks through the neighborhood, stay at home when I go on vacation."

My little garden was honored as a fine one in the neighborhood
My house
My porch
Gin and tonic in my tiny yard
Pot gardening
Smaller is better
Lilacs
Frogs dive into the sweet woodruff
It's hard to romp in, but the snow is nice in town too.
New tiny gardens
The sun always shines here
Dense, instead of broad, gardening
Back patio
In Rhode Island
Now this is passion
Spring sweetness
Uncovering the new veggie garden, a couple blocks away
First year of the new veggie garden
