Sometimes words do not fall readily from the tongue even for word lovers. I’ve been tongue-tied these last while. Though I set of goal of coming to my keyboard every day for the Ultimate Blog Challenge, I feel the pull of just throwing in the towel. It is said that a picture can be worth a thousand words. So here are my words in pictures.
This first set of photos are of my mother’s front flower bed. Though she no longer is strong enough at 93 to garden, my brother and I have planted it.



The next photos are from my greenhouse. It is still doing well, some plants are better than others. It’s a first time growing paprika and bottle gourd. I only got a few of each but they’re beautiful, aren’t they?





The last set of photos are from the backyard. It was a late seeding of spinach and radishes. Hope there’s time for them. The cabbage is a second crop. Don’t know if they will have time to cabbage.



Your garden is beautiful. And what a gift for your mom, to tend it for her so she can see beauty and she can feel your love. The pumpkin and all of the autumnal plants are pure delight. Though I dislike the cold, I love the uniqueness of each season as it comes.
Thank you, Alice. We have a few more nice days coming up in the forecast. Then who knows what will come up next.
I hope you don’t throw in the towel, I enjoy your blogs and I too use pictures at times when my fingers and brain can’t get together to write. I love your pictures today, this make up a blog perfectly!
Thank you, Martha. You are an inspiration for me.
I truly think you are blessed with a green thumb, Lily! Always enjoy witnessing your garden’s / greenhouse’s progress.
Keep writing, and if you don’t feel like writing, let pictures do the work!
Thank you, Tamara.
wonderful pictures. I would love to have flowers everywhere!
