Look at that blue sky! Here seen through the tracery of a #liquidambar or #sweetgum - the kind of tree that I appreciate more in other people’s gardens. Today was just a beautiful day, and we passed under this beauty on our walk around the neighborhood. I’m sure all those fallen fruits are a pain in the butt to deal with, but so are both the leaves and the cones from my big magnolia. Even so, I would rather be surrounded by trees than not. Plant more trees! Now is a great time to do it!We have the best neighbors. Mike is a baking god. He just brought over this freshly baked loaf of bread. Note the leaf pattern. Too pretty to eat, but so darn tasty! #freshlybakedbread #homebaker #stillwarm #bestneighborsSuper excited! I just planted a tree. After three years of relative misery in progressively larger pots, it’s finally tall enough to have its head above the fray in the spot where I want it, so it finally got its feet in the ground. By the time I finished, it was dark, so no photo yet. It’s pretty much a stick this time of year anyway. Snapped a couple of other little vignettes, lit by my favorite solar spots. #plantedatreetoday #treesaretheview #carexsparkplug #ferns #epimediumfargesiiA favorite spot on my neighborhood walk. Love the foliar textures, and the fact that it completely conceals the house behind it. #neighborhoodwalk #evergreenshrubs #evergreentrees #fabfoliage #screeningplants #privacysolution #busystreet #shutouttheworldelegantlyHere we go... it’s #helleboretime again! #mygarden #addictionproblem #somanygoodonesWonder what the best way to peel one of these is...? #fusedbanana #hongphat
