Always a Surprise

It seems like it has been 2 weeks since I've taken a walk around my gardens. That is a very long time for me to ignore them but I've been very busy. Thank goodness for automatic sprinklers.
I was so surpised to see the candle tree in bloom because I hadn't even noticed it developing flower buds. Many people are feeling inspired to do new gardens so my free time lately has been spent designing gardens. Every one of them is so different but I love them all. Even though we are still without rain, the cooler temperatures are giving us a renewed strength. The plants are acting much happier too.
