Round Flower Garden - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

I took that photograph in my yard this past week.

During the 2020 covid-19 pandemic Lockdown here in Connecticut, US, I added a new flower bed to my yard. Some of the flowers in it were annuals, and some were perennials.

Last year (2021), I had a problem with my left hand, and was unable to do any weeding, etc. As a result, all of my flower garden efforts in 2020 were for naught, because weeds overtook all of the gardens again.

So now, in 2022, I am once again trying to reclaim the flower beds. I started with the round (circle) garden. The three Sage (Lavender?) plants are new, and filled in spaces where annual plants had been. I also planted some seeds that I harvested, which I hope sprout.

Those are photographs of my completed flower beds project.

At the end of May, I started my project of clearing out the weeds / vines / etc. that took over my flower beds over the years. Because of the Connecticut covid-19 Lock Down, where I wasn't going out except for essential trips, I decided to make 2020 "the year I regained control of the flower beds." I inspired myself to keep going by continuing to tell myself, "Rome wasn't built in a day." It was a lot of work, but now, five weeks later, the work is done.

Completed Round Flower Garden - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

Today (Sunday, June 14, 2020) I took those photographs of the new flower bed that I've added to my yard. By Tuesday, June 9, 2020, all of the flowers had been planted, and the last step to complete was to add the mulch. But on that day, my cat became sick and ultimately ended up needing Unexpected Emergency Major Surgery on Thursday, June 11, 2020.

My cat's recovery will take 14 days or longer. So far, the early signs look positive. And surprisingly, he was well enough this weekend where I felt comfortable enough to go outside and do a little yard work each day. But I don't want to jinx it, so I'm not relaxing until he's closer to the 10 to 14 day point.

Because of my cat's recovery, my blog activity will continue to be very limited for awhile.

Round Garden Preparation - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

I took that photograph of the new flower bed I'm adding to my yard.

I've been clearing out the weeds / vines / etc. that took over my existing flower beds over the years. It's a lot of work, and I'm not done yet. But one of my new goals is to make 2020 "the year I regained control of the flower beds." I thought the area around this tree would be a nice spot for a few more flowers.The rocks are from my yard. In Connecticut, rocks grow like potatoes. All one needs to do is dig, and one will unearth plenty of rocks.

Abraham Lincoln Book Horse Statue - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

I took these photographs on Palm Sunday (April 5, 2020) in Bethel, CT. Almost no one was out, due to coronavirus covid-19 social distancing Lock Down rules.

If you look closely at the base of the statue, that yellow object is a painted rock / ninja pebble. It had a positive message on it, that said, "kindness rules."

I took these photographs while I was on the Westport Library Riverwalk in Westport, CT this past week.

The red brick Italianate style building in the first photo is the National Hall, which was built in 1873. It has changed ownership and uses over time.
