BLESSED SUMMER SOLSTICE TO ALL

BLESSED LITHA MY FRIENDS, MAY YOU BE BLESSED THIS DAY

THIS SUMMER SOLSTICE, THIS LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR.

A NEW AND WONDERFUL START

It has been 7 yrs since I have lived in the Sierra Foothills, my late husband and I lived in a different town, but my husband died and I got ill and had to move back to town. I literally fell apart to have to leave such Beautiful surroundings, BUT, Im so overjoyed to say I have moved back, and am here to stay!!

I have a Ton of room as you can see by the following pics:
















This is a huge rock garden off the side of the front of the house, I plan on planting Ferns, and rock Garden plants there.

Side Yard, with Oak and Manzanita trees

More veiw of the backyard____>>>>>

The Barn, with tons of shelves to hold all the canning jars that will be full of Garden Harvest this Fall!

The Granny Shack attached to the barn, a studio Apt, which will be turned into

my office, for Lavender Dragon Herbs.

Backporch where I drink my coffee and watch the Sun come up, and converse with the critters that come to have breakfast.

Mrs. Squirrel, comes for her Sunflower Seeds each mornin, She lives in a rotten tree across the driveway.
