T’was just a garden in the rain
Close to a little leafy lane,
A touch of color ’neath skies of gray
The raindrops kissed the flowerbeds,
The blossoms raised their leafy heads
A perfumed thank you
They seemed to say.
Surely here was charm beyond
Compare to view,
Maybe it was just that
I was there with you.

Yes Tulsalady it is my back garden, not very big but the view makes up for it. It is low maintenance the perennials come up and hide the dying spring bulbs. Apart from general maintenance their is not much to do.
Thank you Helenium
