My Garden Path ~ June

The early summer garden is so fresh! After a long harsh winter in our area, the garden is late and sprinting to catch up - so much changes in just a couple of weeks! Here are some glimpses down my June garden path.
Enjoy and watch for ladybugs!
Our old hose froze and cracked so I replaced it with this fabulous
bright green one - LOVE!!
 
Climbing hydrangea bloomed for the first time last year after about 3 years
from planting.  It's really established itself and is twining around the railing on
the front deck steps, creating a cosy little nook.

Lovely wild ferns I transplanted from the woods, a snow white visitor and
a shady retreat on a hot summer day.

Some views of my garden shed (see last summer's redecorating project here http://wildwomanjewelry.blogspot.ca/2014/08/garden-shed-project-redecorate-reveal.html )
and the garden beside our garage.

Sweet lilacs, charming bleeding heart and finally, a clump of delicate Solomon's Seal.

Virginia Creeper climbs over a trellis made by hubs, blooming rhubarb and pretty
peach daisies in a flower box!

Blue iris about to POP and chives that literally bloomed overnight.

The Forgotten Path...

' In the middle of the journey of our life, I found myself within a dark forest, where the straight path was lost.'
~Dante

I've been experimenting recently, using different metals, finishes and moods in my jewelry - while I still LOVE color, I am also drawn to a more rustic, simpler esthetic. The dark metals, uneven edges and open yet hidden spaces in these gorgeous antiqued copper floral etched beads reminded me of overgrown paths in an abandoned garden...and how sometimes, losing the straight path is the best possible thing that could happen.
