May Dreams Gardens

Rock-a-bye Gardener, in the Tree Shade

June 30, 2007 By Carol Michel 6 Comments

What does a gardener wish for when she plants a tree? Just a little shade for her hammock so she can while away the day and dream about her garden.

Here’s the view from the hammock…

And if you lay in the hammock long enough, the view changes to this…

Some days, the most important task to do in the garden is…

Nothing!

Rock-a-bye gardener in the tree shade
Dream of your garden and long summer days
When you awake, they’ll be plenty to do
But until then enjoy the flowers and muse.

    All… thanks for your comments. Any day is a good day to relax in a hammock, as long as the sun is shining or you can see the stars…

    Oh, I’m so jealous. I have lived in my current house for 4 1/2 years, and it now has trees. When I moved in, it did not have trees, and I have waited all this time to have trees. But I am moving. To a house that has, you guessed it, NO TREES! And so it begins… ~A 🙂
