This is my second post about our stroll through the Japanese Garden. If you click here you can see my previous post with some history about the garden.
Our lovely stretch of sunshiny days has come to an end and we have a wet forecast for the next several days. Because of the forecast we went out and did the yard work yesterday. I mow and Dear whacks the edges. When I mow I get 10,000 steps in before I know it. I took some photos of the yard in the Spring sunshine. Here’s one shot of our yard from yesterday. The apple blossoms and pear blossoms are gone and the trees are leafing up nicely. I’ll share more tomorrow.

Ellen, thank you for sharing your gorgeous photos of this garden and your own. Both beautiful. I think a walk through the Japanese Garden would be just the thing when I’m feeling stressed. It looks so serene.
Gorgeous photos around the Japanese gardens but your own yard is every bit as inviting and lovely! (All that hard work is worth it!)
Lovely photos Ellen! They look like paintings.. Wow, who needs a gym when you can mow.. lol!
That Japanese maple is amazing. And your newly mowed lawn looks like green velvet.
It’s so beautiful! I love your eyeview!
Thank you for sharing these lovely images Ellen. I think your garden looks great too.
It looks peaceful to the soul.
The Japanese garden is so serene. Enjoy these next few wet days, knowing that you have accomplished the needed yard work. Happy Mother’s Day weekend to you . . . your first as a grandmother too!!
…thanks for leaving me in a Zen state!
Lovely Japanese Garden. Your yard is so pretty.
