Nature's Beauty






I was asked to post my little pond area, or as I call it "The Haven". Harold & Kyle dug the hole for this a few summers ago. We try and add a little bit each year because we are poor and can't do it all at once! My swing sits not too far away, so I am able to swing and listen to the water and look at the pretty flowers. I try and plant red flowers in memory of dear Mom Mom, purple for Thelma, and the angels for Pop Pop, Matthew and Jeff. I guess you could also say memory garden. The green wagon was my Mother's Day gift two years ago. We have koi, goldfish and a frog. This year we added a water iris, when it bloomed was beautiful purple! I want Harold, Kyle and Katressa to know that I really appreciate how you have helped do this for me. It is a perfect place for me to collect my thoughts (you all know how trying that can be for ALL)! I love you all very very much, I know that I should tell you all that more often!!!

Your "Haven" area is beautiful!! I really like it. Dennis got our pond cleaned out and the flowers around it are starting to bloom. I love mine, too! I'll probably post some pictures of it sometime this summer. Still trying to catch up on lots of other pictures I have to put on. Been soooo busy with the planning of my Luncheon/Tea and now am being bombarded with doing lodging for Youth Camp. But "this too shall pass" :o)) Plus we get to spend lots of time with our "Little Man" Caden which we are so happy about!! When did you start blogging again?

I love your beautiful garden. I think it is so neat that you have things there to remember people too. That is really sweet.

Looks like a beautiful place to just think of God's goodness.

What a beautiful little spot. I would like something like that! Is it low maintainence? I am lousy with flowers!

I love your water garden. I tried to create a special place in my backyard and it doesn't look anything like I want.
