My wonderful friend C has an equally wonderful yard. It took her many years to bring it around.
She has many beautiful, mature trees, a small pond, and a vegetable patch.
Loads of flowers, ornamental plants and a gurgling stream complete this garden oasis.
It is truly stunning but also relaxing. My friend has built a remarkably calming haven in the middle of a dense and busy neighbourhood.
On a recent night, we sat on her large comfortable deck, ate good food, listened to sleepily twittering birds, and watched the sun go down and the bats flit in search of dinner. We talked and spent time together.
Thank you, C.

It truly is one of my favorite things to sit on a backyard patio with friends and just talk. Having something lovely to look at like this is icing on the cake…

What a fun evening. Those night sounds–love them. It’s why I like the door open at night (but my husband wants it closed).

They are such relaxing, almost languid evenings. So nice. 🙂

What a beautiful way to spend the night. I’ve never actually hung out in a garden during this time, but your post makes me want to try it out soon!

Thank you. 🙂 I have done this often (in the past because we don’t live in the same city any more – I visit once a year) with my friend in her garden. It’s always so lovely – I encourage you to try it. 🙂
