May Hooray! and special visitors at the pond

I moved here 4 years ago and there was literally no garden. Few trees, soil hard like rock and weeds everywhere. Since 4 years I spend my time on creating the garden, instead of watching TV - Robin at Bumblebee made great post about "Why not everyone is a gardener" - if you haven't read it yet, just hop there now.

Last 2 years I feel and see REAL changes around. Even if weeds are not giving up, they seem to become more modest, garden attracts more and more wildlife every year - and this is the best reward I could get.

I was predicting 5 years as the time I will get a feeling of being in The Garden. It took 4 and now I really feel "Ewa in the Garden" is true :)

Garden Bloggers' Muse Day - May

As Carolyn at Sweet Home and Garden Chicago started, 1st of the month is the day to get little more artsy than usually. My thoughts were busy with water lately - no wonder why, right? We made last week big clearing and rearrangement pond-job.
So my quotation is about water as well :)



Water is H20, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one, but there is also a third thing that makes water and nobody knows what that is.
