Easter Morning Stroll in the Garden

 Easter morning in the garden was very quiet, only the sounds of two cardinals that are nesting in my garden, flying back and forth looking for food.

 When I am on the computer this is my view out of the window, it draws me to hurry and get outside. My husband laid this red brick patio many years ago and I think it add to the charm of a Cottage Garden.

 My knockouts are on their second flush of the season, they make the view even  more inviting, calling me to come brag on them.

 The shade garden has be a difficult project, fighting all the roots of the grand oak tree, but this year I am happy with how it looks.I will be adding more calidiums this year.

 When the city took up the old street bricks they threw them in the river, we re- purposed them in our garden, to make more paths. When there is a hard rain you can find old milk bottles that were also thrown in the river.

 This is trellis number two and houses two new birds nest.

 This is the old barrel garden,, can you see the old water pump in the back?

Now this garden reminds me of plants of the dinosaur times, the shape of the foliage I guess.Now the kitchen is calling me, so have a blessed Easter. Janis
