A VISIT TO PARADISE

I managed to get enough days off in a row to go and visit one of my sisters on Vancouver Island.
They have a beautiful home there and a spectacular garden. My brother in law is the ultimate caretaker and there is not a weed to be found anywhere. No spent flower is around for long before his clippers get them.
The birds love the garden and many visit in the trees and many sip from the flowers. What a banquet they have to choose from.
Enough words. I know you will enjoy it as much as I always do.

    GEEZ... that is gorgeous.
    I am pea green with envy over that garden, AND that husband.
    Wherever do you go to buy a husband who will take care of a garden? I clearly went to the wrong clearance centers 33 years ago ....

    My hubs is allergic to all things garden-wise.
    He breaks out in lazy.

    It's 1:30 in the morning here -- can't sleep -- in the middle of the hurricane and just having SUCH a good time. :-P
