Five Senses in my Garden
June 10, 2009 at 3:15 pm | In Basic Musings, Botanical Photos, Gardening | 1 CommentSight: 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.

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!
