My Garden Heaven
Man was designed to be the custodian of the earth. Taking care of life and nature should be paramount to all that we do, as this is the only place we have to live. For me, taking care of nature starts in my own back yard. My garden heaven is a half acre that consists of least ten beds and one mini garden.
Welcome to my peace of heaven on earth.
Nature In My Garden Heaven
Herons fly overhead to get to their river nests in the Valley. A variety of hawks circle the sky showing their babies how to fly.
Frogs patrol the garden for bugs. The deer bring their babies through the back of our yard, and sometimes a buck will lay down for a nap by our driveway in the winter.
My back yard is attached to a forest that is lit by heaven.

Garden Living
Living with nature is a true give and take experience. I plant the cilantro, the ground hog takes it. I plant little yellow pear tomatoes, the chip monks take them right off the vine. I cultivate the roses and hosta, the deer take them down to the ground.Whenever a hard rain disturbs the hill, the ants come running to the house. Creepy Crawlers visit my back door, and I was stung by a yellow jacket. Although nature can be brutal, knowing these things are there are somewhat of a comfort to me. Nature is part of my garden heaven, and alive and well in my world.

Garden Jewels
The above photo was taken by my husband.
Last year, our friendly robin nested in the holly bush right by the foot of our deck. It could care less about the traffic that went by, and did not mind the dog, either.
Double Mini Daffodils
MThese are double mini paper white daffodils. They are called doubles because there are two flowers on each stem. Truly a treasure from garden heaven.
