What a peaceful retreat a flower garden is. I am still working on mine this year. It has the look of an abandoned garden retreat. I love the look of unique and old containers and "accessories" in a flower garden. Here I used an old rocker, and my grandfathers old horse feeder to hold these sweet blooms that come back every year. This year I'm expanding a bit. I'm making a quiet place to sit and read a book or pray at the beginning of the path that leads to the cabin. And then halfway thru the path, at the edge of the creek, a bench and some hanging baskets. I still have a lot of work to do, but hopefully will get it done soon. We just returned from camping a couple days ago in case you all wondered where I've been. It was a nice break and I came back revived I believe. Thanks so much for stopping by and come back soon!!!

Love the picture and placement. Had missed you and wondered where you'd been.

Welcome back, I was wondering where you got lost too? Have a great day.
I'm so glad you are back Mikki Jo! It is always nice to get away and I think that camping is the perfect way to do it!
Your little areas to stop and read or pray sound lovely. I am still working on my flower areas, too. I think it will be another year before I get them fixed the way I would like them to be. I am trying to grow as many wildflowers as possible along with a lot of spreading perennials and such. I'd love to have a true meadow garden area and make my flower garden more of a 'cottage' type garden.
Hope you're having a great week!
So glad you're back! I've missed you. Love your ideas about little areas in your garden. Hugs to you!
What a beautiful picture!

Hi,
wanted to let you know to check in on my blog..please...:0)

I, too, love to have things hidden in the garden. I have mostly faeries and frogs, with a broken pot here and there. It is fun to find little treasures and give our own meaning to them. Take care, MB
Love the chair! City Boy isn't into old chairs and tables the way I am...I'd fill up the entire five acres with them.
Maybe it's a good thing he's not so into them...
I've been away too and quite sick, but have not forgotten you! :-)

How lovely to make a little garden retreat for inspirational prayer and reading! And that you've used something of your grandfather's for flowers to grow in!
