Gardening at The Commons

Just don't know what is wrong with me!!

I can't seem to be satisfied with any blog design I do....

I keep trying. I hope you don't get bored with me changing things so often. I do love the design aspect of it, though. New headers, new color backgrounds. Must be the artist in me.

But, here is another one!

And, so on, to other things. I recently took a walk around The Commons (where I live) with camera in hand. On the other end of the building is the Garden Spot. I see it when I drive by but I'd never been there 'on foot'.  Residents can sign up for a spot and plant anything there they wish.

Here are some pictures I took.

A salad on the vine!

Pretty white dahlias
 
Love this charming frog. He likes white daisies.
 
Cheerful birds welcoming guests to the garden.

  1. Oh, Mom! I love that there is a garden spot where residents can plant anything they like! Perhaps you can put in a flower or two! Lovely photos, Mom. Especially adore that bumble bee! And I just realized....your posts are going to be eye candy to me this coming Fall! There will be COLOR! :-) Glad you liked the chipmunks. And oh yes, that boy is getting big...growing up! :-)

  3. Hi, Loved this post, especially that first picture of the bumblebee and the zinnias! It's wonderful that you have a post to grow something! I'd probably plant tomatoes! They have been so good this year. I would love living in a place like yours!

  5. How wonderful that they provide the residents a place to garden. That is such a nice perk. Love your pictures, and the new color scheme. I like it when you change things up.

  6. A common garden in your vicinity...what a great concept!! [that bird bath with the duck is awesome too]

    And like you, I change my header all the time. Sometimes background colors too. For me, it's really that I get tired of one design all too quickly.

    LOVE your lavender and turquoise background!!!
