Mom's Garden

Sharing a few photos from my garden.

My 13 year-old youngest son gave me this "Mom's Garden" rock for Mother's Day this year.  It's so sweet, just like him.  Nestled in a patch of perennial geraniums, it cheers up this shady spot in my garden.

I love purple lupines.  I think they're simply lovely.

In the background of this photo is a 10' tall, dense thicket of wild salmonberries that will make delicious jam later this summer.

My dear husband and sons gave me this pretty little Miss Kim Lilac several years ago for Mother's Day.  They were so delighted to find a flower at the nursery with my name on it.  The memory of that day is so sweet.  The scent is light, but absolutely heavenly!

May we all enjoy God's blessings of beauty, joy, and abundance in our gardens this summer.

Your garden is just fabulous. Thanks for sharing it with us. Living in Alaska I think would be something that I don't think I could do. Living in the Louisiana heat all of my life and having the change of temp, would be too hard on me. LOL. Stll, I bet it's beautiful............Kitty
