Enjoy these beautiful landscapes. Some are community or business designs. Others are residential. But they all look peaceful and relaxing. Something I need on this post-holiday Monday.
I hope you’re having a quiet, low-stress start to the work week.
Coffee Break [10/4/23]
Your mid morning pick me up
Excellent almost summer music!
Thanks! You know I love my psychedelic bands!🙃
…love a good garden…& quite partial to the japanese ones…but can’t help but look at those sorts of pictures & find a voice in my head saying “wouldn’t look like that if you were the one responsible for the upkeep”?
…#5…giant koi & all…is beautiful but I suspect I’d at best be able to stay on top of something like #18
…the sand, rocks & water features kind of zen garden seems low maintenance & do sometimes look lovely & peaceful…but I like a bit of greenery in the mix…& colors that shift as the seasons do…but in my experience one of the reasons you need to love gardening is that beyond a certain point they get to a stage where there is never a time when something doesn’t need doing…& I remember some of the things @butcherbakertoiletrymaker has said about why life on a farm schedule is less than idyllic
…helps with the instinctive envy a lot of those pictures provoked, anyway?
I think most of the people who can afford those gardens can also afford to have professional maintenance done. But no doubt there are those that enjoy the constant upkeep. I am neither.
coffee break? oh right yeah its monday….i forgot
no work today coz jc got resurrected or some shit
as he can do that shit….you think it’d be reasonable to kill him 5 or 6 more times?
you know….spread across the year?
i like days off
anyways….all copacetic on my end
Mustard Plug – Copasetic
works for me 🙂
Everyone should get the post-holiday Monday off. It’s a drag. I’m glad you’re enjoying yours.
post holiday?
its the second day of easter….thats just holiday
Gimme a good woodland garden any day, rain or shine.
A good reminder to go for a long walk today.
One of my aunts owned a large piece of property outside the city and had a gorgeous wooded area with tables , various seating areas, and the most amazing treehouse. It would have been a fun place to hang out but she didn’t like a leaf out of place.
…that’s the worst…it’s like people who call it “the living room” but actually it’s the “must at any instant be perfectly preserved in immaculate condition lest the queen suddenly pop by unannounced for an impromptu cup of tea” room…a waste of a nice space in the name of keeping the space nice?
And a treehouse? C’mon! What kid doesn’t want to get up there and play? Ugh.
That was a lovely dose of tranquility. Thank you!
It inspired me to add a lush courtyard to my dream home.
You’re welcome. The nice thing about dream homes is that price is no object. Mine will have several of these. 😊
Mine also has an indoor-outdoor pool and a rock cavern wine cellar which doubles as a second dining room.
If you’re gonna dream, dream big.
It’s supposed to top 60 where I am today and potentially get in the upper 70s by the end of the week… it should’t be this nice, but it does put a spring in my step!
Beautiful all week here and it does feel like summer is just around the corner.
I love a good Japanese garden or a good year round NW garden. Those that know how to plant correctly will make it so you have interesting blooms year round. One of my favorites is Butchart Gardens near Victoria BC.

Oh, that looks lovely!
Curious about the last photo of the garden with small pool? Anyone know where that is?
Bali
I could spend hours there every day.
