Spider's Progress

Where has the last week gone? Lots going on with friends visiting from out of town and, of course, the new Harry Potter book (just finished--what a wild ride!). But, the garden continues. This is still the furthest along of my cleome plants, although there are several more sprouting. Yea!

Garden quote of the day:

It is good to be alone in the garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

from James Douglas in Down Shoe Lane

So true! I've gotten to spend a lot of time in the garden at dawn and dusk this summer thanks to the ongoing drought. When the neighbor's psycho terrier isn't barking her head off at me, it is a wonderful time to feel at peace.
