| A Praying Mantis on my Dwarf Alberta Spruce... |
 |
| You can see how large it is... about 5 or 6 inches long... |
 |
| Ligularia with ferns... |
 |
| Stream running into the pond... Look closely at the frog spitter... so cute! |
 |
| Close up of the goldfish... |
 |
| Hosta in a pot...raised up to highlight it... |
 |
| Old pot... to add interest... |
 |
| My old ornamental cherry tree... about 55 years old and in decline... I will have to remove it within a few years... I will keep it as long as possible, I do not want to take it out! |
 |
| Clockwise starting at bottom left... Hellebores... Sedum... Lambs Ears... Hostas... Ferns... Japanese Forest Grass... I love my garden and it is a forty-something years work in progress. A garden is never done, so one must love to garden for it to be successful. I worked outside almost every day this summer, in mostly 90 degree temperatures, and I loved every minute of it. Now, I am thankful for more mellow temperatures, and a change in the air. I will be able to get back to posting more, now that Fall and Winter are upon us, and I am inside more. 'Til next time, Love ya, Jean |

Hi Jean, I have missed you! Such a very pretty garden and you are blessed to be able to work in it. Gardening was always a happy and thoughtful time for me.
LOVE your garden.
And the kid in all of us loves goldfish ponds!
You have a lovely, happy garden. That praying-mantis is huge. I love the goldfish, your are so relaxing to sit and watch.
Just beautiful Jean ... that mantis is HUGE! We have more dragon flies & mantis this year than I can ever remember ... but no ants this year again. So love ponds, love the gentle trickling of water.
Have a lovely week ~
TTFN ~
Hugs,

Will you look at that praying mantis.... Wow.... Love ya girl. LJ
Hi Jean, Loved seeing your garden and pond. We don't often see praying mantis in our garden; what a treat to see yours! Your ligularia is pretty. Mine didn't bloom this year - just too hot and dry. Have a nice wknd!
Wow! Your garden is like paradise. It has the best of everything. I can see that, that tree can be use during Christmas. With lights and Christmas balls, it would be a tree to reckon with.

I missed my garden back home. I wish i have larger lawn.

You have absolutely beautiful gardens. You must work very hard to keep them up so nicely!
I joined you today because I happened on your flower pictures. They are gorgeous! Can't wait for spring to come back to Michigan.
