On the fourth of July, 1776, the delegates of the thirteen colonies that became the United States, adopted the Declaration of Independence. This date has been a day of celebration ever since. It is a day of joyousness and exuberance, a day we honor our birth as a nation, but also a day we honor those who stood for what they believed to be right.
On this particular Independence Day, I have few words. Instead I shall share a few photos from my new garden. It is mostly a quiet garden, a garden which has not yet revealed all its secrets, but a garden I look forward to enjoying and sharing.
There are few sun-loving flowers in my garden at the moment, mostly because I did not replace the early spring annuals before moving in. But I enjoy the few bright spots.
But also love the softness of colors in the shade garden.
And the joys of greenery in all its forms.
Even a few surprises. Lovely as they are, I've spent more times ripping out invasive vines that choke out other living things. But today I can simply enjoy an occasional flower.
Have a lovely day.

we were out of town for a month and the invasive vines (yours looks like what I would call potato vine…..) are everywhere. Hopefully there won’t be nesting birds where they need to be pulled out!
