We've been on a road trip - an adventure - but when we returned we found that the weeds didn't stop growing while we were away! I love seeing your garden. The stepping stones look wonderful. So glad your hubby persevered and made them work well for you.<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-35728848472150644052017-05-20T22:49:21.658+01:002017-05-20T22:49:21.658+01:00Your garden is lovely and Alan made a beautiful pa...Your garden is lovely and Alan made a beautiful path to walk on.<br />I also like the look of your Son's garden, it's lush and full of colour.<br />I'm fine with the foxes, they have their place on earth too.<br />Around here everyone tries to get rid of the skunks and racoons, but they don't bother me at all.

A good project to have done. And a smaller garden is the smart thing to do -- I've been downsizing too (although I still have far too many garden areas), and it's a relief to keep only the plants and beds you enjoy the most. Your garden looks very nice! Hope you're enjoying a lovely springtime in your gardens.

Last night my youngest daughter and her husband took photos of a hungry bunny friend who enjoyed feasting on the pretty purple-blue flowers of our ground cover plants that are just coming into bloom. I have missed seeing any bunnies lately, but I felt a niggle of selfishness, not wholeheartedly wanting to share our flowers with him, I was sorry to note.Gracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-75219477448015927992017-05-09T17:56:44.050+01:002017-05-09T17:56:44.050+01:00Your garden is always so pretty.
