Home, Sweet, Home!
The fountain with no water!!!
What a honor and joy to be a part of the Garden Tour being held by the Cottage Industy. Gardening in Georgia has been a challenge this year. We are on water restrictions like we have never been on. Old Nellie has only been washed a couple of times and that was at the carwash that used recycled water (we had to wash her to get rid of the giant dead bugs from our visit to St. George Island). Our grass cries out for water and our shrubs and perennials are just wilting from the heat. Forget about planting the annuals this year, they will die in a matter of days in the record setting temperatures that we are having. What few plants I have planted have been plants that require very little watering. The one good thing is my checkbook looks better from not buying the flowers and not paying for the extra water bill, but I really do miss the green grass and the wonderful color of the flowering shrubs and the annuals in bloom!
