Alameda celebrated it's annual garden tours yesterday. Although it was late in the day I was able to catch a just a few of the garden tours on my block. It's amazing to see what's growing in your neighbors backyards and how beautifully landscaped each yard is. In front of my neighbors house were 2 artists painting some of the delphiniums and ferns planted in the front yard. I found myself admiring the little garden cottage that my neighbors built for their personal "mental" escape from the kids. I could picture myself sitting in the cottage enjoying some tea with my garden friends. Well that prompted me to go up to my own patio (for my little slice of heaven) and admire my new friends on their sock feeder and listen to my water fountain and let my worries drain away.

Ooo! I can hardly wait to see your neighborhood! That looks like it was a beautiful afternoon. Inspiring, too. My garden needs me, but I am lazy.
