Good day Sharon, I just came in from tending my garden. Yours is lovely with that wonderful light in Normandy. I have found that doing mine early in the morning is best here…..since it is not so darn hot them!! (O:

Sharon, you garden, home, and blog are so lovely! I have enjoyed it all the way from California, USA. Thanks for sharing; I hope to visit France one day. Kathryn 🙂
Your garden is lovely. I especially love the lupines. I have often said the garden is my Cathedral. It is where the brain stops and the heart slows. Enjoy your weekend.
Hi Sharon!
The garden looks very inviting…. Not overdone, just pretty and a "come on in and relax" kind of style….. I have been sprucing up too….. Crepe Myrtle time of year…….

Sharon ~ so lovely and I LOVE the rose!! Beautiful!!! Barbara P. xoxo
J'adore les jardins..
Yours is lovely..the rose is darling growing up like that..on it's own teepee tuteur.
My lupins..never ever come back.
I do believe some soils are destined to scare some plants away:(
Nothing beats time spent in the garden. Your garden is just wonderful.
Your garden is looking beautiful Sharon. Thanks for sharing.

My I love your Lupins. I only had one this year come up. Hopefully it will reseed more for next year.
Hi Sharon I could only think of one word to describe your garden ….ENCHANTING….. I know you are having a beautiful weekend. Regards Esther from Sydney. PS I love Lupins just haven't been brave enough to try and grow them.
I'm looking forward to spending time in my garden tomorrow, doing a few chores. But this evening, I'm going out to just enjoy, as you've suggested. Excellent therapy indeed.
lovely garden. And I so love your postings!
Thanks Sharon, for this wonderful therapy! Congratulations for your splendid garden, house, life and blog! And thanks for giving us a part of them!
Your lupine is glorious as is your photography! But where are the two most important four-legged parts of your garden? Best regards, Leslie
Nancy Godwin (google her) is a renowned gardener/plantswoman (she's the authority on cyclamens and their propagation).
I went through a genuinely terrible time three years ago, courtesy of a stalker (she was the real, varsity-league thing…currently, there are 27 outstanding federal warrants against the woman, courtesy of what she did to my life). Among other grotesque things, she got hold of all my mailing lists (she was in my house every night for three weeks while I was in France that Summer) and wrote really appalling, sexually-oriented letters from "me" to about 200 folks on my agenting/client lists. It was a nightmare.
One of those recipients was Nancy (whom I'd never met in person at that time). Now, Nancy is in her 80's….and I thought there'd be no way she'd understand the situation.
Instead, when she received my letter of apology/explanation, she wrote the kindest note I'ver gotten….and it was just about the only thing that really calmed me during that terrible year.
She wrote:
"Don't worry too much. Go out into the garden; it's always the greatest comfort."
Isn't that lovely?…..and I should emphasize that she was RIGHT. I kept her card on my kitchen table for a very long time, and I thought of her advice MANY times during a year of horrible court appearances, etcetera.
Surprisingly enough, I ended up moving last year to a 220 year old house just down the road from Montrose, Nancy's estate/garden.
In any case….yes, the garden IS therapy.
Thanks as always,
David Terry

So true that a Garden is therapy. Your pink rose bush is so dainty and pretty.
Sharon, j'adore the pink rose in the pail. What a lovely idea to make the beauty portable. Your blog is a daily delight! diana

Hello Sharon
Therapy it is indeed and your thumb is clearly green
Helenxx
Oh yes, therapy indeed. We had a major storm last night however, that pummeled many gardens to nothing, uprooted trees and made us think again how fragile we are, like the flowers of the field. Beautiful, awesome, terrible is nature!
Lovely photos! Anita
All of your pictures are just beautiful, it never takes too long to read your blog in my busy life but brings such joy in just seeing the images! Lou x
Indeed, gardening is therapy for me too. I am for the first time on your blog and It was such a surprise. Lovely posts and I read how you found your house in Normandy………I will be a new follower.
Passare ore assieme alla natura è di gran lunga la miglior cosa che possiamo concederci!
ti abbraccio Sara
ditto on the therapy! I find it so relaxing…never feels cumbersome or like work….
Amazing post! I am portuguese and I love your blog!
Beautiful photos… there's no point in putting in the hard work and not being able to 'see' the beauty of it.. especially in the beautiful evening light. Love Lupins, tin and roses too! xx
I love the seat a perfect place to relax in the sun .

Oh the pleasures of being in the garden! Mine is finally coming to fruition after 3 years. I'm extremely jealous of your Lupines! I planted 2 this year and they are quite sad looking at this point. My garden brings me such a sense of fulfillment regardless of plants that don't fill their "potential" in mine, lol. I have a pink rose that looks similar to yours. It's a David Austen "Heritage" This rose has such a divine fragrance that is heaven. I'm sure I look quite silly to the people driving by with my nose buried in the blossoms! Looking forward to more of your garden photos.
