Open Garden

“Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.”
 H. Jackson Brown, Jr.



Over the Canada Day weekend writer, columnist, gardener, friend, Jodi Delong opened her garden up to the public. We jumped at the chance to go.

 Couldn't have asked for better weather. The day was simply glorious.




There were plenty of Hostas in Jodi's garden. They are my new favourite. We just planted some this year in front of our house.


Nothing completes a garden more than a birdhouse or two. 

 
I took so many wonderful photos I couldn't possible post them all.


The open garden event lasted for three days.  Thanks Jodi for allowing us to wander through your lovely garden.

The Look Off

There is nothing insignificant in the world. It all depends on the point of view. ~~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

We took off on Canada Day to attend an open house in Scott's Bay. Along the way we stopped at the Look Off to admire the view. 


Such a beautiful view of the Annapolis Valley from where we stood. You can see the farm land below.



We couldn't have asked for better weather. The day was gorgeous. I'll post some photos of the garden we visited next time. What a great way to spend Canada Day!
