Making a List

By now the flower beds in both the front and back yard are occupied with all kinds of species -- flowering perennials and annuals, decorative grasses and evergreen bushes, most of which have found their new home since spring last year. Indeed, it's time to take a pause from gardening, have a cup of tea and just enjoy.
