Marti's Prayer Garden

 I have finished Marti's garden and would like to share it with you.

I chose to place her garden in front of my swing, where I sit several times

a day for prayer and meditation.

The stone above was painted by her, 

and was a perfect addition .

It's the same verse I start every prayer with, so it was

fitting to be here.

 She loved chocolate chip cookies,

so how perfect when I found this plant

called "Chocolate Chip"!

 It looks sort of sparse, but will fill in nicely 

with summers help.

 Marti loved St. Francis.

So his statue was fitting.

Behind him, on the twig trellis I made,

is Indian Feather Butterfly plant.

Indian Feather for our heritage,

and butterflies as they are a very

significant symbol of the

resurrection in our family.

The garden is filled in with Dusty Miller,

(Miller is our maiden name)

Lupine and lavender which she loved,

foxglove, another favorite,

and her infamous Hens and Chicks.

 She and I have a love of hummingbirds,

so I place the feeder by the garden.

It only took a few minutes, 

and I had a mating pair!

Awesome!!
