CREATING A LIFE FORCE
Yet it's already there. A new LIFE FORCE. Risking being, The-Fruit-Loop-Garden-Designer I called TRACTOR CHICK last night & said, "I feel the Life Force of your garden."
Guess what? She feels it too!!!!!!!!!
Normally, it takes longer for a garden to share its Life Force. Sadly, many landscapes never have a Life Force. If yours doesn't, once you ask, "Why?", you're on your way to having it.
PUPPET BARBUDA will not let anyone use the I-don't-have-the-money excuse. One bush, one tree, done correctly will create a Life Force. We've all been in check-book gardens, yuck.
What do landscapes with a Life Force feel like? Grace. An energy calming & inspiring; an energy making sense of anything life throws at you. Beauty, enriching & sublime filling the senses, feeding your inner muse.

ROUNDABOUTS HERE & THERE
From the house, above, a stone roundabout anchors the view. Evergreen hollies anchor the entry path, variegated sweetflag (groundcover) surround the roundabout.

NOT CRAFTY
.
I'm 'not crafty' in the least but a mirror I was given & old tools are in my garage (carriage house!)
.
Continuing with the 'not crafty' fact, I see pine cones on the mirror frame too. Hmm, a glue gun needed. AND, in season I see fresh hydrangea blossoms tucked into the tools & pine cones around the mirror. And, in season camellias................roses...............tea olive................gardenia.................hosta/fern foliage................hellebores.............daffodils.
.
Wouldn't that be interesting, collecting a year's pics of the garden mirror?

SURROUNDED BY GARDEN
If this were my office, above, this would be its backdoor, below, entry.
OK. I am teasing. But I won't always. Before pics are being taken. My backdoor & garden room will be unveiled late 2010. My atelier? Same timeline.
