When the universe was created (when it created itself?), it opted to be a place where things happen.
Things change. That’s the nature of the situation. Which explains why the pile of dirt that was my front yard a couple of months ago is now a free-for-all.
Life forms — petunias, poppies, gladiolas — are shooting up outside my front door, claiming space for themselves on the planet. There’s no stopping them.
My front yard — it’s a happening place. Dragonflies visit it. Bees visit it. I visit it.

Barbie, your front yard is just the right blend of profuse and tamed lovely.
Yes — I like the wild but tamed look. You got it!
It looks beautiful!
OK. When are you going to come look at it in person?
oh, how i wish bob could see your beautiful changes!
The “new” yard is very much in the tradition of the garden Bob put in. Same rocks. And I have a huge bag of Japanese anemone seeds that are the descendants of the ones he planted. I guess I plant those in the fall???
i thought i recognized those rocks! as for the anemones, I planted the seeds you sent already, though nothing has come up. probably smart enough to wait until the weather cools. you might want to plant some now for fall bloom.
Good idea. I have plenty of the seed — plant some now and see what happens.
My goodness, Barbara! Your front yard is beautiful and lively.
I don’t feel like I had much to do with it. Those plants just did what they were going to do.
Beautiful, Barbara!
Thank you, Karen. It’s so nice to know that other people can feel the beauty. That’s the whole idea!
Beautiful yard and path…nice job!
I love that path, I enjoy just imagining myself walking on it.
