I wanted to sit on one of your benches. Thanks so much.

Our community gardens look nothing like this because they are filled with raised beds to regulate use and collect fees. They are still lovely, because gardens of all types are wondrous, but I truly enjoy the wildness of your community gardens. I would enjoy meandering through them regularly too. Our soil is also hard pan clay and so we also have raised beds in our backyard. In certain areas of our yard my husband and sons dug up loads of the hard clay dirt and replaced it with soft dirt from near the River. It was a lot of work but so worth it. Thank you for taking us on your walk with you and sharing the beauty of your landscape with us.

Thank you for inviting me to join you ...Jacqueline,<br />Thank you for inviting me to join you on your "walk~about" this morning, dear friend!!! Such a peaceful valley, indeed!!!<br />While "Mr. Ed" replaced some solar lighting around the deck this afternoon, I, too took a "walk~about" in our Gardens!!! The Herb Garden is still blooming profoundly!!! I hope to harvest the Basil in the early morning hours. Rain is forecast, but I don't mind working in the Garden in a gentle rain. Much like a cleansing. . .It soothes my inner soul. <br />Autumn is on our horizon, I can actually "feel" or "sense" its arrival this year.It brings "Mr. Ed's" and my Annual vacation!!!<br />Again, thank you for your continued friendship.<br />You continually bless my life in amazingly wonderful ways!!!<br />Fondly,<br />PatPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777939835671223780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184510138812887851.post-87613966070941948302015-08-18T11:50:08.028-06:002015-08-18T11:50:08.028-06:00What a beautiful nature trail you have Jacqueline!...What a beautiful nature trail you have Jacqueline!! You can visit me anytime even in the middle of the week! The meteor shower was spectacular this year. It always peaks around my birthday and I go out with the kids and watch it. I have never seen the meteors so big or so up close as they looked this year. Maybe it was just the few I saw. Summer times are the best aren't they.<br />SherryThe Charm of Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510594223746911615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184510138812887851.post-47623376971829897672015-08-18T10:28:16.740-06:002015-08-18T10:28:16.740-06:00Dear Barbara Lilian,

So much...So glad I was able to be you on this walk. So much to see and capture on your camera. Those dark blue/purple berries are Sloes, a very bitter small plum/damson like fruit. . They grow near where I live in rural France. If the birds haven't already eaten them I'll be out collecting some to make Sloe Gin a digestive drink, which would then be ready to drink by Christmas, but the longer it's left the better it gets. We use them to make Sloe gin, if would like the recipe I can send it to you.<br />The French name for this fruit is Prunus.Barbara Lilian in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798063785447224950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184510138812887851.post-25103343834551068822015-08-18T09:17:54.395-06:002015-08-18T09:17:54.395-06:00Well that was a lovely tour...thank you so much.
