A yogi pal is visiting and we’ve been gardening. I went outside to do some morning watering, and ended up working on my bamboo and grapevine privacy wall.  Every length of grapevine I cut was the perfect length, and every bamboo bone I chose was the perfect height. I love creating natural walls, because I like a change of scenery.  As the older palmetto fronds and bird of paradise leaves begin to decompose, I add newly cut  ones.  One of my favorite things to do here at home is to cut new trails in my little patches of woods, and re-route the grapevine to grow where I want shade or privacy each season.  Then you have to be inside the yard to see the special little vignettes here and there, little meditative spots.  We have a lot of walkers-by here, and I prefer my yard look as nondescript and uninviting as possible.  But inside, it’s Paradise! I’ve been watering a lot, so everything is blooming and lush. I decided against a vegetable garden, since the only sunny spot in the yard is a patch in the back that I neglect, walking through it only to water the loquat, turk’s cap and arbicola in the northwest yard. My big turtle likes the crabgrass there in the sunny spot, preferring it to the lush grass in the shade. The wild bunny likes the lush grass.
