Views on a Snowy Day


I spend a whole lot of time looking out of windows. You see, if I am not in the garden, I WANT to at least see it. Who doesn't?!

This particular view is from where I spend much of my time when not in the garden. My computer/TV room. The snow gave me an ideal opportunity to snap a lovely picture and share it with you all on a summer date-when we are all especially hot! I especially love the green privacy fence with snow building up on it. The evergreens I planted in front of the fence are also collecting snow. Such a lovely sight.

Views from both inside and outside of the house are very important. As much as gardeners would like to, they simply can't be outside all the time. The next best thing is to look out windows. Whenever I design my gardens, I consider all angles from inside and outside. I also consider all angles when planting a tree or a specimen shrub. I consider not only privacy, but also focal points for me and my family, and curb appeal for passers by. Ultimately though, the garden HAS to make the gardener happy.

And how happy are you to see the snow and think of winter and the coolness of snow?
