Feels like I'm there. I love your words, J. I can assure you of the stainability's sustainability. Think very nearly permanent.
I haven't seen some of those plants in such a long time, made me remember the time when I didn't enjoy my third grade teacher and I stuffed my mouth full of smartweed so I would be so much smarter than she was. Do you know it tastes much like a mouth full of pepper. Feels like it too.
And goldenrod. Seems like my goldenrod might not bloom. I never knew it to succumb to drought, but drought plus too many 110 degree days might have made a difference in its growth pattern. Who knows, my wisteria is blooming even right along with producing seed pods right now. Times they are a'changin'.
Beautiful photos, what a lovely place to be. I'm glad they leave it au naturale all seasons.
Thank you!
