This is my secret garden. The photos were taken at 8:00 AM on May 29th. Some are washed out, but I like that flooding morning light feel. It’s my little sanctuary from the world. Soon the grapevine over the back fence will fill in making it completely private. I sit out here to pray and read and just be still. My landlady has done all the work. I’m the grateful and happy recipient.
