Purple Garden


It contrasts well with the blue. This is of the top pond, over the purple sage and past the blue irises. The little dragon is a stoneware facsimile of a Notre Dame gargoyle and was the very first thing I ever purchased from the internet, back in 1995. Remember those days? When a 56K modem was considered fast?

More purple, this time from the bottom of the garden where a weeping willow provides a climbing post for a prolific Belladonna. What a crop of beautiful, poisonous berries we're going to have this year!




Also at the bottom of the garden, past the circle, is the lantern tree. Originally this was just a log Lu brought home to burn but I liked it so much I cenented it into the ground and screwed new branches to it. It held oil lamps and candle lanterns (and still does) but it als sports a set of outdoor electic lights too now.

The whirly thing is a wind toy.
