While the Summer weather is still so glorious, I'm trying to get out in the garden as much as possible. MOTH spent all day yesterday doing his monthly Business Activity Statement, so couldn't join me in the garden or work on the Bathroom (many thanks to our wonderful Federal Govt.!). As he's resisted all move to keep his business records electronically, the absence of our critically ill computer was of no consequence to him. He still uses ledger books, a feather pen, a bottle of ink & an abacus. The scene in our dining room while he does this has a distinct Dickensonian feel about it.
I really like Garden Architect David Pfeiffer's simple philosphy on gardens. He really believes in creating a strong connection between the house interior & exterior. And these images of his work certainly confirm that. His practical use of edibles like grapes over a dining arbour & co-opting blueberry bushes & strawberry plants in the borders to do double duty as ornamentals makes perfect sense to me.
