This week I have been working on my backyard which I believe to be another form of art. The garden has been a work in progress over many years, our needs seam to develop and change each year and so does the garden to meet those needs but most importantly it is a pleasant retreat to clear the mind and relax. This year I seam to be struggling with my climbing plants which normally do well with very little assistance from me, but there is balance to every garden other plants have stepped up to be the stars of the yard this season. Bee balm and Lilly's are doing just fantastic this year, so in response I have arranged the patio furniture to have the best possible view of them while outside relaxing. My biggest goal with the yard each year is to make it a calm and peaceful place for the wife and I, fun place on the weekends for the grand kids and a great place for the dogs to wrestle.
