Having just returned from an amazing ...Hi Sherlock,<br />Having just returned from an amazing stay in Granada, there are more tales to tell! If you want to fill the garden, try using some good, cheap staples to start, preferably evergreen, and then replace some as time goes by to add interest. I suppose we are quite fortunate in having access to large commercial nurseries, where things are trade price, but we do spend a chunk occasionally on something special if we fancy. Take care.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255717931620460104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106418510267458618.post-7409793191816907672012-09-22T21:36:15.778-07:002012-09-22T21:36:15.778-07:00Love hearing about your travels and observations. ...Love hearing about your travels and observations. So nice to share.<br />More perches for your kitty. He looks good in this tree too. You really have a lot in your space.

'The grass is always greener',...Hi Melanie,<br />'The grass is always greener', how true that can seem at times, indeed be all too often. I dare say that just as with our visits to some of the amaZing gardens we have been fortunate to visit, on our return from the Alhambra Palace we shall once again look on our postage stamp garden with dismay! Speaking of postage stamps.....a parcel.....really, really excited now, and what a treat to come...thank you!Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255717931620460104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106418510267458618.post-87844728317125847932012-09-15T08:05:47.816-07:002012-09-15T08:05:47.816-07:00Hi Chris,

The opening and closing ceremonies of both olympics have been amazing, AND I got a musicfest of Coldplay....pretty darned good to me! I find your blog fascinating, and enjoy the tales of change within your own garden in particular. I am sorry you have had such a tough week, but all the more important to see And enjoy the good things around you eh?

I find it hard to believe that in all of your wonderful travels, that you haven't see the Alhambra. I imagined that by now there may have been a personal invitation from the king of Spain!

It's amazing some of the stories that are told and makes us strive to be better people. <br /><br />You're so right. There is beauty everywhere. For many years, I took our desert for granted. Do you know that this is the first year that I have been broke and can't take a magic trip somewhere to some place exotic? So it has forced me to stay here and explore....and I'm happy that this all happened to me because I have learned so much in so little time. Why had I not gone exploring our cool deserts before? This year has been such a wonderful age of discovery...and I'm not done. People are sharing with me incredible places that I've never gone to....and they're all within an hours drive. Very exciting times for me. The point? There is beauty everywhere and you don't have to go very far to find it:) <br /><br />As for gardening, it's getting cooler here as well. Yesterday I gave the bamboo a little bit of a haircut as I did the Jacaranda. Everything is getting out of control:)<br /><br />This week is finally over. Love the job but I'm exhausted from all the stress. Tomorrow I am going to a new place that I've never been....I love my Saturdays:) Happy weekend!Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106418510267458618.post-85941264529078104102012-09-14T01:10:38.490-07:002012-09-14T01:10:38.490-07:00Hello Gary:

We take so much for granted in general and the Paralympics are a wonderful inspiration and reminder of how people are living with adversity every day and how they have overcome the many disadvantages and difficulties that this brings.<br /><br />We were given as a gift the book by Cathy Wood 'The True Story of Great Britain's Paralympic Heroes' and it does make for moving reading. If you have a chance we recommend that you have a look.<br /><br />How exciting that you are about to jet off to warmer climes. We have never seen the Alhambra but should dearly wish to do so. Bonnes Vacances!!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
