WAITING FOR SUMMER

                                                "It’s All About the Flowers”! 

​“Maine is one great flower pot”, says my Mother, who has spent many summers visiting us in Rockport.   While I continue to share photos of our flower garden, she is always totally amazed at the changes that have occurred.   Each year seems to be the “best ever”.   These flowers splattered all over were our creation last year.   We begin a fun and different field of beauty this year.

​Our garden carpets the backyard, as it provides one picture of beauty each day.   In the morning the sun shines right on those specs of yellow and white or reds and purples.   I sit glancing out of the living room windows or the bedroom windows or the kitchen windows, as the budding plants call with a somewhat indescribable elegance.   There are blooming flowers all around, peeking out as the gardens seem to grow bigger and bigger - constantly changing.   The growth appears daily, bringing us a gift added with a bit of charm to the whole scene.   A painting without a brush stroke.

This picturesque act of nature happens during our Maine summers and speaks loudly  of poise and grace, offering new shades of fascination while splashes of change are taking place.   Looking out each day as summer moves along, wondering what magic will appear right here in our backyard.   What a gift!
