Mother Nature graced up with her very best, and it was such a delight to spend the day pottering around the garden.
We planted and cleaned up around the pond, taking care not to disturb Igor, who has become quite accustomed to our presence, and no longer plops in the pond, when he sees us coming.
Cold, wet leaves
Floating on moss-colored water
And the croaking of frogs -
Cracked bell-notes in the twilight

I hope your day was just as special.

Hi Jo, OH---how I love your 'creative' garden... Love the old bicycle with flowers all around... That's just SUPER....
Our yard is looking good also--but ours is not fancy like yours. I like fancy--but need a talented person like you up here to help me make it fancy... ha ha
Hugs,
Betsy
jo,you are easily pleased...
its a nice way to be
Your garden is looking very exotic today. It is truly beautiful. Love the spitting frog or is it a toad and I'm so glad that Igor is getting tame for you.
Your pond is a delight.
How nice that the weather behaved for Mothers' Day.
Jo, your garden looks like one of those secret gardens that I would love to have. Your photos are magical.
I am so far behind in my blogging.
Reading your blog this A/M I just realized how many frogs I herd last night in our lake, I have really not been paying attention to the Important things in life. Things provided by our Almighty creator.
Jo, Your garden has wonderful, creative features. The pond and Japanese water iris is so peaceful. Love it. You have so many interesting things to see in your garden. Is your frog fountain solar?
Thanks so much for your comment on my Ploughman's post. I'm pleased that you found it acceptable, in spite of the fact I've never been to England to have a "proper one".
Glad you had a nice Mother's Day,
Babs
