The May Garden

~ Gardening

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:105‬ ‭

Hello lovely friends! We have had a week of beautiful weather with cooler temps and lower humidity…perfect for working in the garden! The rain was great for all of my plants, but it was also great for the growth of weeds. I spent Monday afternoon weeding, but still have more to do. I guess you never get finished in a garden, there is always something to do! Grab your cuppa and join me in the May garden.

On Sunday, it rained off and on most of the day. Finally the skies began to clear in the early evening and a misty fog settled behind the garden!

There are a pair of tuteurs in the garden. This one is placed in the middle of the vanilla strawberry hydrangeas and gardenias!

“The earth is the Lord ‘s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭24:1‬

Happy Tuesday sweet friends and I am so thrilled you are here. I am excited to share my first garden tablescape of the year. It is in celebration of the apricot drift roses that are in full bloom and more beautiful than ever before! You are invited to join me for simple pleasures in the garden!

Several of you have said that you aren’t familiar with drift roses. These repeat-blooming, compact roses are perfect for any size garden and they are easy to grow. They come in nine different colors and they have a heavenly fragrance. Ours are the apricot color and they were planted in 2015 when our garden was established.

Late Saturday afternoon as the fragrance of the roses was wafting in the breeze, I set a small table with tea and macarons to just enjoy a few simple pleasures!READ MORE
