This is my backyard oasis...I moved here about 16 monthes ago, and the first summer was spent trying to find the Secret Garden under debris and overgrowth.....It is still in transition, Under Construction...It is where I escape to think, burn incense and candles and yes.... Hope....Everything here has been salvaged every pot, even some of the plants, the chairs,the tablecloth, the Birdbath made from a thrown out lamp at the curb, actually most of it is from "Curbside Shopping Specials".The Suitcase I painted and I lug my Garden Tools round in it... I spent 2 dollars on a can of Green Rustoleum for the chairs, And the fabric I bought at a yardsale for 1 dollar...So it really is my 3 Dollar Garden...

So have a Sit...and some Iced Tea.And there is plenty here to read , so scroll down, there is the "Amish and Monty Python","Lessons from our Children" , some politics, and there is some Soulfood, and other throughtprovoking posts. I have to go run some errands I will be back later this evening...There is some Fresh Mint over by the Birdbath...Make yourself at Home....namaste.

Some Music for you on this steamy Friday....David Gray " Babylon"...for your afternoon...


AND for your Friday Night Music....Ben Taylor, who is amazing, he is Carly Simon's and James Taylor's son, and yes, he is incredibly talented .....I first posted this song and it had 400 views...NOW it has over 180,000...Now this is the kind of music for a Friday Night sitting in my garden...Have a good night...

When you come to the edge of All that you Know,
you must Believe in one of two things:
There will be earth upon which to stand,
or you will be given wings."
