Still In Making











Am I just lazy or overwhelmed? I have not done a post since we came back from Atlanta. Guess it is both. The trip was very nice break. The GT party was super fun. Glad to see Dawn and Preston and meet some of Sammy's old classmates for the first time - Bruce, Ben, Celina, Steve, Barber and ... People can always amaze others and their owns. How different they are becoming now but how much the same they still are. We went to Bruce and Ben's house for a little party after party. House is beautiful and garden is incredible. People are still beautiful with the continuation of their life drama.

Every time we goes back, it appears that we never have had enough time to visit family, old neighbor and friends. We always have a wonderful time with Sammy's mom and bc. Glad to help them set up wireless router for Pat's new toy - laptop which is already 6 month old. Now she can launch her writing career right outside her patio. Wish that they are living closer to us.

We stayed with Sammy's dad and Norma for a couple of days. I did some gardening work in front of the entry and chatted a bit with Norma in a beautiful day outside. Sammy mowed the grass. They were very appreciative. I did take some picture of the lake in the morning.

Back to Athens, Bracken turns into a miniature of Forrest while they just broke the ground less a week ago. I almost missed blossoming of one of my peony tree. Well Sammy totally did since he flow to Philly right after. Fortunately the most magnificent one was still on its prime. My imaginary chic hippie prairie garden finally shows some reality this spring. Naked lady lily, lupine, astilbe, fox glove and Asiatic lily and tulip can not wait for their turns to shine rising above the base of monkey grass. Spotted lamb ear plant creates surprisingly negative space in between with Irish moss. Unexpected Zen with hippie lush. I start to like what is taking shape. For me, the beauty of gardening is that never have a finished product. We do not create it to be but it evolves to be.

That is for now.
