the garden came back :: photography

last spring "pseudo hubby" and i planted this lovely shade garden.  i enjoyed it all summer and some greenery even held on into the fall.  but i also fretted about it.  we had a mole situation in our yard last summer and i thought for sure i had lost a few lilies.  the garden also became home to a slimy snake, so i was fearful to get too close when pulling weeds.  i worried that these unsightly invaders would overtake my gentle jacob's ladder.  and then there were the cute little bunnies that ate my clover.  i loved them so and i tried to feed them other options from our kitchen, but they were determined to eat my garden growing clover.

so you can imagine my surprise when i ventured out to that part of the yard last weekend and found that my shade garden is growing just fine!  i can't think of one plant that isn't popping up already.  i am delighted and proud of their strength.

as, "the monster" would say...  "ha ha mole".
