Après la Pluie ~

 
 
It rained last night, a lovely rain. Here in our hot, arid climate rain is always welcome.
 
This morning when I came home from my walk  I wandered the garden and thought how lovely everything looked, nothing improves a garden like rain...the grass is always greener...
 
 
colors are more vibrant...

 
everything is fresh and clean...

 
and when the sun comes out, all glows ~

 
Even though not much is blooming in my garden right now the rain makes everything look lush and pretty. Thank you nature, and...
 
thank you for visiting ~

  2. Hello Adrienne:
    Your garden does indeed look beautifully refreshed after the rain. You say that there is not much blooming but there is an enormous amount of interest to catch the eye. You have obviously used evergreens and architectural features to give structure to the garden and they work wonderfully well.

  5. Your garden is stunning! Love that magnolia, I admire them whenever I see one and have often thought it might be nice to have one in my garden but I can never decide which variety to choose!
    I never tire of your lovely pictures and garden...they are always so well presented.

  7. Lovely post and beautiful garden! Here in Iowa it is 25 degrees and more snow is falling on top of the deep blanket of white on the ground. I am waiting for Spring and flowers!

  10. Your garden looks so lovely and green. Nothing here is green, in fact, it's supposed to snow all week. I would give anything for a wee bit of your lovely green. I can hardly wait until it gets that green here, but it's at least a month away.

  13. We are still snow covered here, and sadly, nothing is green. It is nice to see there is green elsewhere. Your magnolia is lovely as are your camellias in the last post.
