I know, I know, I have been AWOL from the blog.
But neither myself or the little assassins can bear to be indoors for even one second when we can be out and bungling about in the jungle.
For someone who is rather OCD about the house (the roommate says she has never met someone who vacuums so often) I let it all hang out in the garden.
Let the seeds fall where they may is my motto.
Nigelle and sedums moving into every corner of the garden like the GOP's fear of immigrants?
You're all welcome here.
Roses fighting salvia, salvia fighting lilies, lilies fighting peonies,peonies fighting the fringe tree?
Put down your tendrils. There's water for everybody.
Oregano and elderberry both taking over the path?
No worries. Plenty of room for Lucy to get by.
Indoor plants moving out, nursery pots waiting for the fence to arrive so they can be planted?
All in good time.
This is command central. You'll find me here in the morning drinking coffee, after florist work taking a breather before garden work.
Here is where I eat my meals, read my books, entertain my guests and check your pictures on Instagram.
After dark?
Inside vacuuming of course!

Well this is delightful non-start to my day. I've been up for ages and have brought my breakfast coffee in here to do a couple of things before I contemplate the Hoover...
ReplyDeleteSame you're a bit too far from Brooklyn!
Hope you got to Hoover. Coffee and a clean room? Heaven.
DeleteOnly 4 hours by train...
Quite charming outside, too! I love your attitude and your garden ... and Lucy, of course. That vacuuming thing can be cured.
ReplyDeleteWell I do feel about weeding as I do about vacuuming but something had to go!
DeleteAlways happy to get a peek of Angus' girlfriend. He just made a cat call. I've wanted to get one of the elderberry bushes but I just don't have the room. Maybe some cimificuga brunette instead?
ReplyDeleteDon't have the room? Now that's an interesting concept...not one I'm familiar with. Yet.
DeleteJ'adore cimifiguga.
Flower Jane. You still make me smile. Thank you.
ReplyDelete:-)
Deletewhat a beautiful garden!
ReplyDeleteLucky cat ;)
It looks great--I'd hang out there all the time!
ReplyDeleteInteresting how different you are about inside and outside...
Just say you have to vacuum so much because of the cat fur...
ReplyDeleteBut it's true! Not like those two will let me get within 5 feet of them with a furminator!
DeleteIf you've been AWOL, I'm MIA, seems like no time for anything. Glad to see you've warmed up, we're just starting today but the humidity is through the roof (sky?) ugh. Garden looks beautiful, I like a little unrulyness, those gardens with the perfectly manicured boxwoods make me nuts, no imagination. I see we read the same magazines :)
ReplyDeleteThat cabbage? is as good as a big ol agave from Texas. My jungle corner (complete with mosquitoes) needs a good slash and burn. Yours looks inviting and serene.
ReplyDeleteRay
Beautiful and lush! I can't be inside either; summer is WAY too short for that.

wish I were a little OCD about housework. It feels so good when I DO clean. i love your garden.
ReplyDeleteHey! I have a fringe tree, too! Love the garden. Overgrown means less weeding, you know.
ReplyDeleteOoh and aah. Dinahmow sent me, and I LOVE your garden. Housework not so much.
ReplyDeleteYour garden, is my kind of garden :)
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks lovely - full of life and colour!
ReplyDeleteManicured gardens are nice, but not inviting. I like the way the plants in your garden interact with one another. My kind of garden. Well done!
ReplyDeleteMe too in the non-manicured garden camp. Hope you'll share more photos of your garden through the growing season.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jane! I love it all! Just over-flowing with color and scent. Makes me want to lie down in the middle of it and roll with the kitties.
ReplyDeleteAlways happy to see a post. Thinking of you. xoxo

ReplyDeleteLife's too short for dusting. Pootling in the garden is another thing altogether.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics of your garden and the kittens - or one of them any way.
