Five Senses in my Garden

Sight:  We have so many beautiful and brightly colored flowers blooming, as well as about a million shades of green everywhere.  I love our varieties of hosta, the round upright leaves of the water forget-me-not, the new growth on the rhodie.

Sound:  We have baby birds in the birdhouse and they are noisy! I love listening to them and seeing the mom and dad hopping out to the adjacent bird feeder.  Other sounds? The fountain in the pond, the noisy chickens

Taste: We picked a big bowl of peas and lightly steamed them for dinner a few nights ago. Delicious! I also love just picking them off the vine.

Touch: Curiously, this one does not easily spring to mind. I suppose I touch the dirt and the petals and the leaves. It’s been a cool start to summer, but we have had some sprinkler times.  I do not touch the snakes that have decided this year to make their presence known :)   Also try not to touch the poison ivy that that seem to crop up here and there.

Smell: Especially at night the scent of the roses and honeysuckle is positively intoxicating. Just lovely.

  1. Simply gorgeous! You have such a great variety of things growing, all beautiful. My first peas are just sprouting – I can’t wait to eat some off the vine.

    Also, love the new theme!
