verte

verte is french for green.

green is one of my favourite garden colours...in flowers...in grasses.

taking a break from the gardening rituals of late...tillling...digging...raking

...planting...watering...soil amending...mulching...fencing...

we take a much needed walk into the green.

i love this time of year when green is emerging everywhere...effortlessly.

the grass gets so tall without any help from mankind.

all sorts of things start popping up if left alone.

even puppy loves leaping thru the green.

we have many fields around us that are naturally wild...it is exciting to the senses.

it refreshes me after working hard in the garden.

something as simple as the dandelions...are beautiful to behold.

we think we have seen a golden eagle over our pasture land.

still waiting to see the kestrel but there is evidence something has

been there...checking to see if they like it.

as we walk and observe all around us is a balmy breeze

whispering sweet nothings in our ears...

some of our grasses left uncut...for a natural habitat.

nests are all around us...proof that life is in abundance...we have had a litter of squirrels.

we are loving beatrice...she seems to be taking to us in stride.

let's hear it for the red, white and purple?

my spent oakleaf hydrangeas giving off a reddish hue!

pansy bud in with the swiss chard.
