Morning Stroll

“Make a morning ritual of strolling through your garden. No weeding allowed – do it for the pure and simple joy of observation.”     Jane Austin Miller

Iris’.

Every year, about this time, I think of this quote. I like it.

Zinnias.

When I do stroll, I like carrying a cup of coffee in my hands.

Hosta and Clematis.

It’s not a long stroll, and not daily, but it is an early morning stroll, and I do not pull any weeds…just enjoy.

It’s fun to watch the garden grow.

  1. Nothing beats an early morning stroll through the garden – thanks for sharing your beautiful flowers and plants!

  2. This is a really good idea. If I hadn’t strolled past my flowerbeds yesterday, I wouldn’t have noticed the peonies about to burst. I need to check today. I expect at least one bud has blossomed.

    Are those zinnias in that one bed?

    1. Yes, they are. It’s a very colorful display when they bloom and they bloom for a long time. Then I collect the seeds and plant them the next year.

  3. I sometimes do 2 strolls. One before my coffee is ready and I am not dressed for the day so I just look out all windows. Then the second is with coffee. I must confess I do pull a weed now and then. Kay

    1. That’s fun…before and after coffee. You have beautiful gardens to look at.
