My boss has the most beautiful yard and garden! He and his wife are out working in it for hours at a time, and you can sure tell by how gorgeous it all looks. It's like entering a different world when you walk through the gate and venture down the stone paths. Everywhere you look there's something different to marvel. Gorgeous flowers, lushly thick green grass, ivy, statues and ornaments, birdhouses, yard art hanging here and there along the fences and from iron posts, even a rusty old bicycle parked amongst it all, with a flower-filled basket hanging from the handlebars.
They have a beautiful stone pond with water gurgling and trickling a musical tune and raised beds out back filled with all their vegetables. Cabbage, spinach, tomatoes, beans, potatoes. Everything you can imagine! He has bamboo poles that he harvested and dried in the rafters of his barn and he positions them into teepee's and grows beans and sweet peas up them. He has rocks and carefully-placed stumps with pots of flowers here and there, and boxes he made that hang along the gate and fences filled with bright colored masses.
The yard is filled with trees and flowering bushes and shrubs and every kind of flower imaginable. Lilacs, irises, petunias, peonies, tulips, azaleas, lavender, poppies, daisies, clematis, wisteria. Purple, red, white, yellow, pink and blue. All the colors of the rainbow everywhere you look.
He has several different roses in pinks and yellow and red and everything grows so lushly and abundantly. What a wonderful haven for all the butterflies and bunnies too! God has blessed their hands with the magic touch because the whole yard just flourishes with beauty.
I hope someday I can have such a beautiful garden at my home to escape to. What a peaceful place they have created and how proud they are to share it with all of us!
