Garden Delights
blossoms in springtime
vibrant colors exploding
aroma of joy

We’ve had an exceptionally wet month that has brought a surge of growth. To celebrate the explosion of colors, growth and aromas in my garden, I wrote my first Haiku. And here are some photos from my stroll through my happy garden. 🙂 BTW, my back yard only had 2 bushes in it 3 years ago when I bought the house, so I’m thrilled at the progress.

Wish we had space for a garden. For now, my little pot of mosquito-repellent plants will have to do 🙂

Any plants are good. XD And sometimes I miss the simplicity of renting without all the upkeep. It’s a tradeoff.
