My Secret Garden Path
This little garden path along the side of our house was overgrown with weeds
when we first moved in.
It's such a lovely area with an arbor and trees on each side that can been seen from
a window in my craft room.
Now that we got rid of all the weeds, we made a little pathway.
My neighbor, Priscilla shared (and planted) some of her own ground cover in between the stones
along our new, garden path.
She tells me that next year I will be trimming these little, delicate plants away from the stones.
I'm still so skeptical about planting something in the ground and thinking it will grow.
That's what growing up in the desert will do to you. :-)
There's just something so special about walking along this garden path and
under the arbor to the lower yard.

It makes me feel like I have my very own little
secret garden.

I've decorated the trees with some colorful, glass,
garden art.
garden art.
On a sunny day, they twinkle and glisten in the light...
...and on those gray and rainy days,
they add a little color and inspiration for my soul.
I love this piece...
it used to hang in the courtyard of my desert home.
It's a joy to remember it there, and now see it in our new
surroundings here.

Do you have a favorite piece of garden art?

besides a concrete pagoda in our yard, i like our big old iron, rusted gazebo. i'm trying to get vines to grow on it, but it is slow in the texas heat and drought. :)

I love your little path, and had to giggle at the ground cover...here's it classified as a weed, but I love to see it growing in my grass. Those bright blue flowers are so pretty. I think it is a type of Pratia, or Blue Star creeper. But I could be wrong, either way it's lovely, and so is your path.

you're going to have so much fun planting new flowers :)
So good to visit! Now, off I go to catch up! =] I'm so happy for you!
xxoo
I learned that the hard way when we moved down here from the Yukon. To get a beautiful full flowerbed there you had to plant everything extremely close together and I thought that was how it was done everywhere; the first year here I killed more than half my plants by over-crowding them!
I'm happy to hear you are enjoying your new surroundings Becca!
