Summer is flying by, its Aug this weekend! Hopefully, your flower beds are at their peaks. Did you do all that you wanted to do in the garden this season? I have tried very hard over the past few years to make my window views something that attract me as I walk by. When I wake up and open the shutters, the first thing I see are my orchids and bromeliads growing on my palm trees. All winter I see the beautiful blooms. Each summer I add to the trees knowing that next winter, I will be rewarded with more blooms. I have consciously tried to make the large planters outside my kitchen attract my eye so that when I am doing dishes, I have something else to focus on. The same is true for our front door, which is mostly glass.
Recently, I hung an unused chandelier on my tree outside my dining room. When I entertain I use the small battery operated candelabra lights and everything glistens. I also keep glass ornaments on that tree. When the lights are on, the reflection on the glass makes me do a double take. Its all about keeping it interesting, if only for ourselves.
Consider this a small reminder before your season is over. What can you do with the remaining months to make next summer's views even more special? Each season you can be a little closer.
Our gardens are always a work in progress like us, right?
