Donna, I love the way you have the path curving, just inviting a stroll to make new discoveries. Great job!

Rutholive, you've done a wonderful job. Looks like an oasis of green and blooms. Do you get butterflies and birds stopping by to enjoy it?

trillium_girl, lots of hummingbirds and other birds, but not too many butterflies. I even planted 3 varieties of Asclepias for the Monarchs, ma be too far in the northwest for them to fly by here. Did see a couple of Tiger Swallowtails.


Thanks for all the nece remarks about the woodland garden. Donna aka rutholive

Donna, you did a lovely job with your woodland garden. It looks like a very inviting path to stroll down and admire all the flowers and shrubs. Plus, you have a beautiful mountainous backdrop too! Which range of mountains is it...Cascades or Rockies?

Donna: That is so inviting. I want to come and sit for awhile. With the mountain view it is postcard perfect. Great job.

I agree, I had to take a double-take-look because it is so beautiful it is like a painting.

You certainly have "the eye" AND the green thumb for garden layout!

Thanks for all the nice comments. I would love to have all or any of you come to visit and have a cuppa.

Shirley, those are the Cascades in the distance. I love our mountains here and all the rocks too. Donna

YES! I guessed correctly!!! The Cascades are a beautiful mountain range. You are so lucky to be able to view them from your lovely garden! That's a DOUBLE plus, in my book!!

Even tho the smoke was terrible today, I did go out to the garden this morning as had to irrigate. One reason i can't lose any weight---As I moved sprinklers, turned on soaker hoses I ate some Fall Gold raspberries, some beautiful large blacberries from my thornless vines, some cherry tomatoes, and also some husk tomatoes. Sure was good!!!Donna
