The Year that Was -Summer 2014

SUMMER

The highlight of summer 2014 was our walking tour of the Cotswolds in England.  What an incredible trip!
Never mind that the vegetable garden had its best production year.  Never mind that the perennial garden had a facelift of sorts.
Never mind that Sarah and William got engaged and wedding planning went into hyper drive.




[Sorry for the quality of these collages.  PicMonkey wouldn't save to my desktop so I had to take a  screenshot.]

The Year that Was - Spring 2014

SPRING
Though our first grandchild came in February 2014 I think of her as a breath of spring!
Spring also brought a redo of the front garden and a renaming it Mom's Garden in memoir of my mom.
Spring last year was good for all the gardens.

The Year that Was - Winter 2014

WINTER

Looking through the photos from last year I was reminded that winter showed itself here in full force last January - March.
Lots of wildlife came visiting close to the house.
The only signs of spring for a long time were under the grow light.
