Yesterday, as I pulled out of my driveway to go visit Peyton's grave, I noticed just how awful and overgrown I've allowed our front garden to get, having neglected it (among many other things) these past several months.
I guess I stopped caring about how things looked at about this time...
This summer has been very rainy and gray, allowing the weeds to sort of take over the entire area. I suppose, with all that has been going on, I just sort of hadn't noticed.
A little bunny came over to check out the garden
and upon seeing its condition, stopped,
turned up its nose at me disapprovingly,
and then hopped away.
It's not much...
Ah, your pictures really help tell your story. The flowers are beautiful. Peace.
I like the yellow flowers you chose. You have a beautiful big garden, complete with cute rabbits!
The daffodils are beautiful. {{{Hugs}}}
It is a beautiful garden and rabbit.
I love flowers. Of any kind. So fragrant, so beautiful, I touch the petals softly, adoring each one. Your garden is beautiful. Even the weeds. Mrs. Rabbit will be back, with a BIG grin on her cute little lips!
Snooty bunny.
Hugs to you, though.
I too don't think the appearance of things is as important since losing my girls. The flowers you planted look great, watch for the bunny now, she will probably be back!
I've also neglected my garden. Amongst other things. It's hard to care about all this stuff, about anything really.
It looks lovely and cheerful with those bright daffies. Thinking of you and your beautiful Peyton. (((hugs)))
Beautiful garden. I agree with Tami. Mrs. Rabbit will surely be back.
I neglected my flowers beds. I've only pulled weeds a couple times and I didn't plant any flowers. I only had my perennials. I'm so glad hubby has helped me do a lot of the work to the beds this year. And for one year I am glad that they make weed killer.
I wish the rabbit had come to my house. I want a rabbit. Speaking of visiting Peyton's grave makes me want to go see my son. Pics are beautiful.

I think bunny was cute and the flowers are beautiful :-)
The flowers are beautiful. xx
Love the story and its illustrations! Beautiful! Looks like progress to me!
I just found your blog and wanted to tell you how beautiful Peyton is. I lost my son on the 24th of last month so I am just beginning my walk in grief. I am sorry to hear about your loss and I hope you wont mind my following your blog as it seems to help me cope with my loss, reading others stories. Hugs!
The daffodils look beautiful, and every step forward, no matter how small, is still a step forward.
And thanks for the web lesson over on my blog ;-)
Wascally wabbit! I'm sure he'll return :). I bet you get some nice songbirds where you live, too.
I love your flowers. Nice, bright yellow, the color of creativity. Yard and garden work is always tiresome but when you look at what you've accomplished, every minute of effort is always worth it. And it gives back so much to you.
I'm considering planting seeds for my first herb garden, maybe in late September :).
I'm also passing the Honest Scrap award to you. :)
