trees
Sounds like some really nice trees.
Trees are so so important. I have none living in a tiny apartment but my parents have a woods full of them and they have brought my dad and i together in so many ways.

plants are more important that we ever know. you seem to know it. and so do I. and ubugal. :-)
Summer's coming, dear. And I got a shipment of rocks today, with lots of lichen all over it. Big ones, smaller ones and some flat ones for the one stair up onto our new patio area. And M and the yardworker put in posts for the arbor so that I will never see my neighbors on the top of the hill again ;~) It's going to be 14 feet tall, with all kinds of timbers over it and down it, so that climbers are covering it. Spring flowering clematis and fall flowering clematis and lots of climbing roses. And oh yes, I am getting one rose called a ballerina, because its flowers cover it in the shape of a ballerina skirt. I'll for sure take lots of photos when finished. Love you. Keep on planting. It's good for the soul. I am having a hard time, because everything I have planted for years was dug up and put into pots, but lots of things that I started from cuttings are dying. They didn't take the transplant well because the yard worker didn't know to water in the hole before putting the plant into it. Oh well...I'm letting go. Things are gonna be wonderful, just different!
several astilbe that I planted last year were dead to James. but I said just leave them alone and see what happens and now they are up and thriving. plant the half dead looking babies and you never know. the earth and love know what it knows. ya know? hahahaha
at the chinese garden a scrub jay has built her nest in the evergreen clematis over the crabapple gate.... one of the main paths to the gardens and when some tall lingers there the bird dive bombs them. we are forever warning them. and she hasn't even laid her eggs yet... she is still nest building.
which reminds me I put my thread ginzles (thats a word I made up that might mean orts) out on the bushes for nesting material and within two days they are gone. I saw a robin carrying lichen and purple thread as it flew into the redbud tree along the west of the house. and I planted more bell shaped flowers in the cricks of the rock wall for the hummers.
Monday at the gardens an osprey held court on the moon locking pavillion. it was fabulous. or did I tell you that already? Well back to the Ming Dynasty. kisses !!

OMG, Alicestreet. What a great series of messages: ospreys, divebombing jays, threads flying all over the place with birdies. Wow. Wish I were there to see it all. The birds LOVE all kinds of threads, as you know. Fabulous. My hummers are here and my birdies are here, but I don't have birdbaths out there, as everything is chaos and dirt. Even Calamity is having a hard time figuring out how to catch gophers out there. So I love your descriptions. They are wonderful. Truly. Kisses back!!!! Hooeee...hope you are taping the debate tonight ;~)
i sat right here and had a vicarious thrill involving your garden. *fans self* i practically feel the need for a cigarette, it was so good. i have only two words: "pictures, dammit!" btw, i've had better luck growing basil in pots than in the ground. you *must* get some opal basil....when added to white whine (i saw this misspelling when i was proofreading, and i started to change it...then thought, eh, wth! and left it as was. how funny is that?) vinegar, turns it pink....it's just beautiful. also cinnamon basil. but yes, i did last year's basil in 5 pots and had *tons* of pesto.
*sighs* Color me envious of all the planting you and other friends are doing now. I really, really want a yard!! Maybe next year TorridGirl says. I'm praying!
It all sounds so beautiful! We'll be expecting photos soon.
