This Is Why Gardeners Garden!

It's the Simple Things!

The reward for the time and effort spent gardening? It is the simple joy of spending a morning like this enjoying the beauty of the flowers and the birds and the clouds and the sounds!

The cute little black-and-yellow birds are a pair of goldfinches.

Sheer joy in a Saturday morning!
