Once a barren stretch of land, this yard, which is quietly tucked away in Woodville, Florida, has within a couple of years been transformed into a quaint and lovely garden.
A garden not only to sit in and enjoy the cool of the day or evening, but a place where birds can come to eat and drink and swoop and play.
At night, solar-powered lights show reflections of ceramic birds and frogs positioned in various places with ceramic angels watching over every petal, leaf, and stem.
A wood-burning pot belly stove when used gives off warm heat from its glowing embers. Growing around the perimeter of this garden are a variety of fruit and vegetables plants: tomatoes, okra, figs, and blueberries.
It is amazing what one can do with a little seed, water, sun, and effort. What a beauty....
And here is the woman who made it happen, my sister-in-law Patty.
