After the Garden Tour, October 19, 2024

Click on first picture to enlarge all photos and view as gallery.

Sam has requested photos of the garden taken after my two week intensive spiffing up period to get ready for the garden tour. My garden was one of 6 viewed in the Raquet Club as a fundraiser.  I published some photos earlier. You can find them HERE Above are today’s photos.  The tour was on the 19th but it takes me longer to recover from work binges these days and I spent yesterday mostly in bed. Today I feel fine!!!   Three of these “arrangements” actually are memorials to three pets who have passed away in the last 22 years. Their ashes are buried beneath.  See if you can guess which ones. There is one more memorial up on the dome in the 6th photo from the end .You can see Frida’s effigy sitting on the top of the dome which was her favorite spot for the 13 years she lived with me.  Inside are her ashes.  Since i put her up there, two of the neighbors have done the same. I guess I am the neighborhood influencer…;o)
