Life from our window at Bird House

We have dedicated 23 years of our lives to a little patch of ground in Manhattan MT.  The back yard has morphed into a work of art.  The birds, houses and feeders have become incorporated into the art.  My canvas over the course of years became wherever the creative process took me. And as time allows in the life of Caregiver that creative energy has taken me in so many directions.   Between surgeries and recoveries, winters and summers always calling me in different directions.  Making the garden a beautiful retreat for my recovering husband during summer as the fenced yard gave so much privacy.  

 

And in Winter creating to be humored and amazed

Our Nativity...oh, look, I see the camel.

Life is always about the art, even composition in gardeners lives.  I watch and wait to see how the plants faired over winter, and watch and hope to see the gardeners renewed vigor with the warm smells of Spring.
