Happy Easter Sunday!

This is a side walk garden a couple doors down from me. They also have a butterfly bush in there. Gorgeous!

Someone asked me what was a side walk garden. Thought I’d put it here.

A side walk garden is a small patch of earth left by the city as they build sidewalks. Some have the huge utility pole, some have a tree and some are bare. The home owner who plants the flowers in this little patch cares for it. Some go all out and put little fences around them (under a foot high), made of wood or wrought iron.

 

Here’s a long view of the whole idea of sidewalk gardens.

Spring Fling

Photo: Taken in my garden today. I didn’t do it, I promise. And that’s a clay pot. Who knows what else is under there!

 

forging a path through
no shrinking from adversity
tulips in the midst
of a glorious spring fling
gone are thoughts of winter

Flower of The Day

This tulip is actually from my garden. The only one of it’s kind that survived the foraging of the squirrels.

For Ronovan’s Write Haiku where the prompt is: Narrow & Minded. I kinda substituted “narrow with single”.

…And I think I will also use this for Cee’s Flower of the Day where you can also use leaves, tulip leaves in this case. #FOTD.
