Garden Duty for the Sunday Whirl Wordle, Oct 13, 2024
`
Garden Duty
It is no witchcraft,
this metamorphosis of garden.
For these past weeks,
I have been a whirlwind
of paintbrush, clippers, shovel and trowel—
shifting and planting plants,
then placing offerings
on the ledge built into the freshly-painted garden wall.
Plants stripped of their dead leaves
and spaced between stone hearts
give new breath
to this beloved garden, grown rough with age.
in the former birdbath now filled
with dirt and profuse with flowers,
flightless birds of clay
are guardians of a fledgling
fallen from its nest and buried here.
Birds that can fly, do,
then circle home
to weave between the tree limbs and the vines—
One guardian on the highest limb
a sentinel perhaps for all.
It’s striden call
signing a mystery
the gardener has no hand in.
For The Sunday Whirl Wordle 675 the prompt words are: witchcraft metamorphosis garden whirl fly siren sign breath stone circle

A Week With Friends
Click on photos to enlarge.
Sharon and Linda’s birthdays, reunions after many years, Malanna’s successful job interview, making good use of old stamps, good food, good friends, good cheer, temptations of the Chinese market, spontaneous dance, grandkids and wontons and the birthday cake decoration that wouldn’t die!!!

Mainly trees but look hard. There are a few flowers to be seen! This is the view from my desk.
Name the Bottom Lot???? (Help!)
What should I name it?
Here is some brainstorming but nothing seems just right. Can anyone come up with a name for a little park that is mainly for the enjoyment of people walking by? If you don’t know its history, read up on it HERE.

I’d really appreciate your help in coming up with a name for the gardens I (and Yolanda and Pasiano and José and the bulldozer guy have worked so hard to create. And continue to create.
Tell me your favorite three names from above, prioritized as 1 2 3. Then tell me at least one original name you can come up with!
Muchas Gracias!!! Judy

I’m a Fan of Lush Gardens
A few photos of my front garden and front garden wall For Jez’s I’m a Fan of prompt. I love my gardens a bit overgrown, as you might see from these photos. Every once in a while Paciano gets a wild hair and trims them all back and I mourn their loss.
