another delightful day in the garden, especially after the last number of cool and overcast days…

spotted a hibiscus blossom, so that was a treat…

next, I went into the pond to clean out the pump… the leaves have been falling like crazy and there were a ton in the water… once the pump has been cleaned out, the waterfall always flows beautifully…

all the cushions went out and a dear friend arrived with lunch… we ate inside as the wasps are very busy in the garden…

we moved outside and had a lovely time by the pond catching up on life…

after she left, I read in the garden for the remainder of the day;-)…

soaking up every minute possible in this sanctuary…

soundless…

it has been doing this since before I woke up this morning…

and it is still going on… it feels like it is soundless, quietly encompassing everything…

it is causing a lot of work…

but so pretty;-)…

a few days ago my grandson dug the hole deeper where the mandevilla has been residing for most of the summer… it lives in the house during the winter months and has just started to bloom…

it has also been blowing over fairly regularly and I’ve had to bungee cord it to the upright umbrella on really windy days so it wouldn’t fall over again… I had dug the hole to what I thought would work, but it wasn’t deep enough, lol…

Thursday, the wind was very strong and the mandevilla stayed put with no leaning or falling at all;-)

there had been lots in the news for a few days that we were going to get a big snowstorm but we’ve dodged every one that had been mentioned all winter…

until Sunday night, lol… it started with rain and by morning everything was covered in snow…

and it kept falling all day… stopped late in the afternoon…

we are used to snow and storms here… most people went about their daily business… it was just a storm, lol…

when I got home I could not see where the sidewalk was… the snow had covered everything completely… even the trees were weighed down with the beautiful, but very heavy, snow…

I was very lucky because my kids came over and shoveled and snowblowed, clearing the sidewalks and driveway…

today it was as if nothing had happened… another example of how things can change in a very short time…
