until the Goddesses decided THEY liked it just as much. They've been at a few of my colored spaces - not sure I like all the freedom of "free-range".
I took a walk yesterday and was so excited to see the hydrangeas blooming finally. I was concerned that I wouldn't get any blooms since I pruned them pretty heavily when I did my first clean up. But . . .
This one's in the front by the water font - It's reading more pink-purple than how it's really coming up - which is a deep violet. I'll have to see if I can get a more true color image. It's really gorgeous. Can't wait to see it in full bloom.
This one's in the back. The flower heads are everywhere - they start this creamy yellow and open to a beautiful sky blue.
As I walked around the side yard to harvest some more raspberries I saw this little guy:
and one of his friends. I watched for a while and discovered they have a burrow in the hillside right next to my vegetable garden. So far I've seen 4 or five of the tykes. Mrs. Mc Greggor's Garden anyone?
Well, I finally made it to the berries. WoW - there are so many of them.
They are absolutely yummy - right off the vine!
They have been allowed to ramble and have invaded some areas I'd rather they weren't. So I'll have to work on containing them for next year.
For now, I'm imagining a crisp, juicy, berry tart - yumm!
I leave you with one of my favorite things about Our Haven - the sound of the river.
The first clip is from one of my favorite view points. The second is from the grotto - my secret hideaway.
