DECADENCE ON THE LAWN

Masterpiece Theatre, decades ago, had Miss Marple. The English settings were incredibly decadent. Furnishings on the lawn. Tea on the lawn. A notion inextricably appealing.
.
Oakleaf hydrangea are peaking now at Aldridge Gardens, above, in Hoover, AL. Their hydrangea festival was last week. After I finished lecturing box lunches were served in the garden.
.
Why share this ridiculous notion? Without direct effort my life has included countless repasts in the garden for decades, at home, with friends, clients & lecture venues.
.
What began as an infatuation has, indeed, become a way of life.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

You are living example of the philosophy i (teach)!
Find what you love to do! what you are passionate about )( I say to anyone who will listen!)

and then I say "work hard to get really good at it!"

People will pay you do it; and you will not have to work a day in your life!"

I have heard a lot of the top part and the bottom part...most of the time the middle part is left out! NO!! IMPORTANT part! You are a perfect example!!
