Ah! Refreshed!

It's amazing what just a couple of hours outside and in the garden will do for the spirits! Managed to move a few small things to do some re-design around our deck steps, but even a little bit of digging dirt made me so calm and relaxed.



The dianthus is the star of the garden right now. Its spicy fragrance is not as awesome as lilacs or some of the peonies, but it's nice to have inside, too. Hope you are having a lovely day.

  2. I so enjoyed my time in the garden yesterday, it really is very therapeutic. My grandmother had a beautiful Dianthus in her garden, just like yours,..sweet childhood memories.

  3. Anneke, if you think they will ship, I'll divide them in the fall. They will need it by then.... I'm serious.

    Sherri, one of the things I love about carnations is that they are so old-fashioned, and so modern at the same time. Glad these reminded you of your grandmother. What would we do without those memories?
