A Little Thyme Spent in the Garden

Now that the large evergreen has been removed, the foundation for our Summer Gazebo is being prepared... in the meantime though, until it is done, I thought that I would share a little walk around the garden with you...

This Wild Rose has a fragrance that is absolutely amazing.

Early in the morning, I take the petals from one rose
and place them in a crystal bowl -

they scent the bedroom beautifully.

As the Lavender is getting ready to bloom - 

the Iris's seem to be showing off their colours as an encouragement!

The Rockery is also filling in nicely

 and making a sweet appearance...

The Rhododendron was beautiful this year,

and just as it is beginning to round out it's showing...

the Azalea is picking up the theme 

and showing off her colours as well!

It's always important to spend a little Thyme in the garden -

here I've chosen to tuck it in underneath the spreading foliage of the Petunia.

And the more Thyme you spend, 

the more you will find to enjoy.

For instance, here is a little Robin's Nest that sits,

almost within arms reach, from our morning breakfast table out on the deck - 

it is perfectly nestled within the branches of the plum tree.

That Mama bird is simply a joy to watch,

and she sings a very happy song each day!

If you look really close,

you will see that she has decorated her nest,

with a lovely blue ribbon...

well done!

Whatever kind of garden you may have, even just a few potted plants on a balcony will do, I hope that you are able to take a little Thyme...and enjoy!
