slow mornings, simple joys

In My Garden

I don’t have a garden the way most people do. The simple reason is I tend to kill things, a “green thumb” is something I am missing. My little (and when I say little I mean a 12×5 rectangle) garden has more of a plastic vibe going on. There use to be a rose-bush in this area but it would only bloom one bud every other year or so. I felt sorry for it and dug it up, yet the little thing keeps coming back. The little lights in the front are solar-powered and glow at night. I am going to get some and put them down my walkway

 

This is the first of my  photograph series. I began taking a new interest in scrapbooking and photographs and want to share it with all of you. I edited the photo using PicMonkey, which is this super amazing FREE editing tool

  3. Thanks for that link to PicMonkey! I had tried a few online pic editors, but none of them had all the features I was looking for, and PicMonkey is much easier to use overall.

  4. your blog looks good. have a nice day. the blog was absolutely fantastic!http://www.divulgaemail.com

  5. I kill things too! lol Somehow I’ve managed to keep one houseplant alive for 11 years though. It must be one hardy plant. That’s all I can say. As far as a garden? I don’t ever really see that happening. I would like to grow herbs though… from my kitchen window, but I dream. lol

  6. You (and Picmonkey) really made the colours in that shot pop; I like it! The mat and frame are a really lovely touch, too.

    Hubby and I just moved into our first home coming up on 2 years ago and we’re still trying to get the lay of the land gardening-wise. Thankfully there are a lot of perennial bushes, etc. Unfortunately, neither of us are very inspired gardeners and the poor things need some pruning/deadheading love pretty badly. At least this year we learned what pruning and deadheading is, haha! 🙂 Don’t tell anyone, but I’m kind of liking the ‘wild meadow’ look that’s threatening to take over. 😛

  7. Love this pic very artsy! Our backyard is a scary place and my husband wants me to grow a garden but aI have never done such a thing. But I am inspired by this so thanks for the idea!

  8. I wish I could have a garden , but the weather here is horrible all the flowers die haha

  10. Your garden looks pretty sad in plants but love the colorful ornaments. BUT it is still better than mine. I planted 25 strawberry plants this spring. Ho many are growing? Zero! The stray cats in the area dug up everything and used the entire area as a litter box. lol
