Today started with a real pretty sky, I went out around 6am......phew!!! yup and with eyes open too.
Sky brilliant pink and the pictures do not do it justice.
I had the kids today, I am babysitting for a friend. Ryland and Brodie, nice kids and I find if I do things with them then the days go quicker and they behave better. Then there is Cooper he is a handful. So about 10am it was still quite cool with a nice breeze so decided upon going to Central to the playground. Gabby and I took our coffee and let them loose.
Look at the sky, it was wonderful
Anyway, Central school used to be the old high school at one time. Gerry went there for awhile. Tristen went there until he left us. I have spent time there often enough. They have a garden.
Unfortunately it is long neglected now. Last couple of years it seems to have been forgotten and that's a shame. I would volunteer but cant keep up with my own. The Perennials try hard to flourish among the weeds that are slowly taking over and smothering things.
There were a few highlights though. The Queen Anne's Lace is a weed but it is so pretty, I am trying to grow it in my garden. I saw one pop through this year.
It really is like lace.........another seems to be a wild geranium but I am not sure on that one. I didn't look close but would like some of that.
There were also some Day lilies that were doing ok. Some quite pretty, I would love the yellow one.
They have an herb garden and fruit but all now overgrown and wasted. Such a shame
yes this garden needs some TLC but I have no time. They did at least cut the grass so you can see there was a garden once.
If it had a wall it could be the Secret Garden and maybe then it could be brought back to life and not look so forlorn and neglected. I enjoy going there, I wonder if anyone else does.......but now it's too sad looking. I wonder if someone will bring it back......I hope so.
This blog is about my garden and the outdoors. I am new to photography but I am trying to show some of the pretty things that grow here in Michigan. I love the wild things who visit me and I dont mind if they eat a bit here and there. I like it more if they let me take their picture. As time goes on I think I will try to show you around the beautiful area that I live in as well as my garden. I try to use my own pictures as much as possible but will also use pictures from the web. If I inadvertently use your photo or work without permission please email me and I will remove it or give credit if you prefer. I will give credit when I know who the owner is. I would ask that anyone using my pictures do the same.

Wonder why they have neglected the garden. That's a shame.
Beautiful gardens
That is really sad about the garden! I wonder why they aren't taking care of it?
