Secret Garden

We have kind of a tumbled down secret garden thing going on out back. Right now there's just no time to deal with demise of our trellis, so it's just hanging there looking decrepit till we have a free weekend to replace it. Mostly because we really don't know quite how to tackle this job and we're absolute masters of procrastination.

When you peek through the opening into what should be a delicious flower garden, you see that I did relatively little there this year, just cleared out as much of the weeds as I could and not up root all the sweet pea volunteers from last year.


The sweet perfume is heavenly. I crawled around and picked as many as I could and have little bouquets around the house so no matter where you walk you can catch the tiniest scent.


Sweet pea days are short. Once they stop blooming I can really weed out the garden, the pea tendrils are attached to everything giving those weeds a temporary stay of execution.





These wild flowers are all over. They look like some kind of pea, right?

Hmmm my sewing room is a mess but smells so sweet. I read a blog recently where people were commenting they wished that bloggers would share what kind of sewing machine they have. I have a Bernina 1260 that I use all the time, and a Bernina 180 that has an embroidery module. Don't use it much which is a shame, it's a wonderful sewing machine. I just love my 1260.

So that's the poop. Next week is the for sure count down! Have a good weekend everybody. xo
