spent a lovely hour in the dining room garden recently…

trimmed up, and cut back, the mandevilla and fuchsia… they have both lost most of their leaves but are still alive…

I am hopeful that they will both perk up… the mandevilla looks lovely now…

listened to music and felt such happiness… before you know it, spring will be here…

today I took some photos of the garden, including the blooming orchid…
