In a time of stress, gardens help to center us.
They don't need to be large. This is at our local YMCA.
They can grow food - a local community garden in a residental neighborhood of Binghamton, New York.
There is a garden called Grace Gardens in the Finger Lakes of New York State, which specializes in daylilies. I have many garden pictures on my phone, but I thought this garden fit the theme best.
There are small hidden houses.
Purple flowers.
And, of course, day lilies.
I was amazed to find this place is run by an older husband and wife - and the husband used to work in the neighborhood where I live, years ago. It's truly a small world.
I've tried to keep these posts short, with more photos than words, because I want this blog to be at least a temporary oasis in the middle of chaos.
Do you have a favorite garden?
"G" day on the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. My theme "America the Beautiful".
Welcome! I hope I bring a spot of calm and happiness into these uncertain times. I blog about flowers, gardening, my photography adventures, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.
