A Visit to Cistus Nursery
I rarely go to nurseries anymore since I work part-time at one and another reason being that I don't have much room for additional plants. When a garden fanatic runs out of room, the brain goes into overdrive, dreaming up ingenious ways to incorporate more plants. And another thing happens - a burning desire to obtain rare and unique plants. I've been moving plants around, a tricky process that has a domino effect. A plant is unhappy - it is getting too much shade or perhaps too much sun. There is a plant that did not get as large as you thought it would or it is just a slow grower and now it is hopelessly hidden behind a taller plant. Sometimes a plant is just a dud for reasons unknown (Rhododendron 'Golden Gate' anyone?). I find the plant in question a better home, but it means that another plant will have to be moved. And the merry-go-round continues to turn... However, for those plants that are to be discarded, a space opens up for a new one! I decided to move a Mou...
Happy 28th! What a gorgeous place to celebrate your love for each other. We have a marriage equality act on our ballot in Maine. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGreat Pictures, Phillip! I can't believe we were there the same time. And at Eden too! LOL I was at Laguna.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 28 years together! What a milestone!
ReplyDeleteThat house is ah-mazing!! Those decks and the view! I wish a house like that would change my husband's mind about beach vacations... he is blonde and fair-skinned so beaches are not his thing.
I had to chuckle at your comment about donations to the religious organization going to a large beach house. People definitely need to be careful about who they give money to. Even famous people can be dishonest!
wow 28 years.. amazing! Congratulations. I can only hope someday soon you would be able to be married if you so choose. Also LOVE the pictures of this beach garden!!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful scenery. I bet you feel like a million dollars now. I am glad you had a good time. Congrats on the 28 years. You and Michael should be proud. Not many people stay together that long.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 28th!
ReplyDeleteYour rental looks fabulous. Great views and gardens.
Boy you did hit the jackpot. I saw my first Monarch Saturday.Mary
ReplyDeleteThanks for such beautiful pictures. The view off the deck is amazing and I'm sure ya'll went home relaxed and refreshed. Congrats on the big 28. Have a great week! Carol
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to the two of you. This looks like a fabulous place, you are fortunate. I agree with you about that monstrosity of a house. It's a shame people do not consider the surrounding homes and landscape when they build.
ReplyDeleteWow Phillip, you really did find a fantastic vacation spot. It made me sign to see these photos, because my own beach vacation was over in September, and long to be there again. Beautiful, beautiful spot.
