...to have a pretty area in your garden to sit and enjoy your surroundings or read a book? This pic was taken from an area in the front of a person's yard that we clean windows for. I snapped a few photos last summer.
It's mostly trees and a bench with some annuals placed nearby. I wonder how much the lady of the house gets to sit out there as she works outside the home.
If you had an area like this would you make the time to enjoy it?

I would appreciate nature too and thank God for providing it for all of us to enjoy.

It would be a wonderful little place to sit and enjoy some peace and quiet.

@MarshaMusselman It's nice to hear nature and not traffic while reading.

I like the picture because it is very pretty to sit out there and enjoy the surroundings. I have a porch I sit on to read a book or when the weather is nice to get sun on me.

@cherigucchi me too and before I get to old to enjoy it. Maybe by then instead of a bench I'll have a rocker.

@MarshaMusselman No, the other side of the garden, one is near the bamboo, the other under the holly tree.

It does but so does the lake pics you've shared before. I would prefer water nearby too.

@just4him I definitely do. But, I wouldn't be able to sit on the grass to enjoy that water I'd need to take a chair of some sort.

It does sound nice. I think I remember you mentioning Dustin's garden before but I'm not sure.

@MarshaMusselman I mention it very often with my flowers and bird posts. Usually in the spring and summer.

We shifted to a semi rural town just so that we could have a garden and we have a pretty large one with everything that qualifies it to be called a landscaped garden.
