This morning while under the Japanese Maple (yes, another one, for those counting)....
I slipped under the fern leaf canopy,
trying to locate my own, would you believe, grass for munching.
With the monumental amount of moisture we've had this spring,
I have to search very carefully,
sniffing the trail for my reward.
I won't tell you exactly where it is under all this greenery
because a girl has to have some secrets, right ladies!
I, now, know that the pink perennial geraniums are close by as a marker...
and just beyond them, is the rocket flower and Star of Bethlehem.
For those that remember where the tool shed is, well, now you are very close to my cache.
After sating myself on greens, I ventured up the deck to view the Moonlight Clematis.
The vine is covering one end of the driveway entrance this year.
With all the prominence of green, a wee bit of white just seems to perk up the view.
So, don't forget to keep the fern trail "hush, hush"...my lovelies!
You live in my kind of yard, Sophie, practically no grass, therefore, nothing to mow. Your Dads are wonderful gardeners who have made a green and lush paradise.
ReplyDeleteWow, Sophie! We can't believe how lush it is where you are! So beautiful!!

What a beautiful place, where you live!! Careful! Don't get any bugs or ticks on you. And don't get into anything smelly either... :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes we can't find Sophie because she is so intent on finding her grass to nibble on. She is usually under some shrub or plants 'grazing away'.
ReplyDeleteImagine if we had a lawn?
We won't tell your secrets, Sophie!
ReplyDeleteBut I do still wish I could wander in your garden, with you. What an oasis it is.
Yeppers, the ferns are loving' all the moisture of this early summer. They want to take over, beside our front steps. I really have to keep them at bay, somewhat.
Oh and we had Fiddle Head Ferns for dinner one night. No, not from here. We bought them. :-)

Beautiful! I love a Japanese maple... unfortunately ours was broken in a big snowstorm, but it's fighting its way back!
ReplyDeletejust beautiful as always
ReplyDeleteThat was like Jurassic Park! m.
ReplyDeleteIs that your garden Soph? What a beautiful mix of foliage you have to play with. It looks truly explorable!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful...like a primeval rain forest!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! What a grand garden to explore and play in. I love it. You guys never cease to amaze me : )
ReplyDeleteOh my Sophie - I love all those beautiful ferns! Your backyard is the perfect place for you to play. You are a very lucky doggie girl~~

Your yard is so beautiful. Funny that grass is so hard to find. Most yards are covered with it. But I prefer yours!
