Eliza Waters 
How inviting! I love paths through gardens. It looks beautiful.
Thanks much. I love living here! 🙂
This is a beautiful view.
Thank you, Anne. A nice spot to start the day. 🙂
What is the lavender in your garden? It’s a lovely accent.
Thank you, Linda. It is Catmint, Nepeta racemosa, it is an abundant and reliable perennial.
This looks so enjoyably peaceful & organized. What are all the thin poles? Do you have solar lights?
It is a lovely view from our deck that we enjoy all summer. The bamboo holds up a deer fence, a must-have if I am to enjoy the fruits of my labor!
And what a view! So lovely.
Thank you, Laurie. So grateful! 💚
What a wonderful outlook on the day–and the summer ahead. It would be great to take this photo each week to see all the exciting goings-on in the garden.
Thanks, Tanja. I did do that one summer (2016) as a challenge with another blogger. It was really fun to see at the end of the season. 🙂 https://elizawaters.com/2017/03/21/the-tuesday-view-march-21/
A beautiful morning view that draws the eyes in to wonder what is beyond the trees.
Thank you, Pepper. I love the way the low sunlight illuminates the tree trunks. Similarly on the other side of the day at sunset.
Idyllic. Take me there!!
Stop by any time! 🙂
What a beautiful view to wake up to Eliza! 💚
Thank you, Xenia. It truly is, esp. when the birds are singing. Weather permitting, it is where we live in the summer. 🙂
Wow, Eliza, your garden is glorious! Tall trees, lush greenery, beautiful paths. I like that you have the wild meadow, too, and I can imagine it hosts many butterflies, insects and birds. Your Wednesday morning view is heavenly.
Thank you, Jet. It sets the perfect tone for the day.
My meadow evolved from No Mow May, it was too beautiful to cut in June and yes, lots of little butterflies, whose larvae eat grasses. Hairstreaks, skippers and pearl crescents are numerous.
Ohhh! Your garden view made me take a deep, deep breath.
Thanks, Dawn, glad it did. Our backyard is about all we need. 🙂
You’re welcome.
Oh wow! How can you ever be in a bad mood? If you are, just open the door and step outside, I say. Lovely.
Now that you mention it, I rarely am melancholy during garden season! Vit. D and exercise, perhaps?
How could you possibly be? Vitamin D and exercise are fine and dandy but when you have your own oasis in your back yard…
Yes, it is our little bit of paradise. 🙂 Thanks, Dale.
It is a wonderful one.
💕
And a lovely view it is, Eliza! It’s at that wonderful phase when the garden is both attractive and tidy, before summer’s exuberance defies all controls.
Thank you, Kris. This is the garden where I spend most of my time, so at least one spot looks managed!
I may just …
I think I may need a new adjective, but I’ll go with striking view, and I know it is only accomplished with a lot of hard work. 👏👏
Thank you, Judy. As you know, it is a labor of love. 🙂
GORGEOUS!
Thank you very much, Catherine! 🙂
Is that yours?…
Yes, one of many, but this one is the most tended, I’d say. Can’t work at the pace I used to, hehe. 😉
It’s GORGEOUS!! I hear you on the pace slowing. 🙂❤️
Thank you very much! If you ever make it to western MA, come by for a tour. 🙂
Oh!! I would love to Eliza. I’ll keep your offer in mind. 😀
A place with actual lawn and perennials, Yay! beautiful.
🙂 Thanks, Amy!
Very expansive!
I have many gardens and they keep me quite busy!
Beautiful as always 🧡🌈🧡🏡
Thank you, Karen! x
A fine sight over a morning coffee 😊
Yes, indeed. It is a great way to start the day. 🙂
Lovely to see your garden again Eliza. I like the pathway, and is there a fence there to keep out unwanted visitors? We have a fence all around our garden and meadow – keeps deer out and apparently there are occasionally wild boar here too. Wouldn’t want to come face to face with a sow with her babies!
Thank you, Cathy. Yes, we’ve had to use a deer fence since the deer population has become problematic. They nibble just about everything unless it is fenced or sprayed with deer repellent. Gardening is not for the faint of heart, lol!
Wild boar sound scary, at least we don’t have that to worry about!
Beautiful indeed! And so inviting.
Thank you, Monika!
Lovely and serene.
Thank you, Tom. We give thanks for it every day.
Your nurturing of the earth and nature as you have and do, creates an amazing place upon which to gaze, contemplate…and dream. Absolutely beautiful, Eliza. Even in the photo I appreciate the serenity. 🙏🏻💜
Thank you, Carrie. It is paradise to us. We even have a pair of bluebirds (of happiness) that grace us with their company and hopefully will produce a brood in the nest box. 🙂
An absolutely stunning view, Eliza. You’ve done an outstanding job tending your portion of God’s green earth!
Aw, thanks much, Debbie! 🙂
A beautiful peaceful capture, Eliza!
Thank you, Kim! 💕
Lovely garden scene!
Thank you, Jenny!
What a gorgeous view for enjoying your morning tea or coffee!! Your garden looks wonderful and love the path!🙂
Thank you, S! It is my favorite place to watch the birds and garden blooming, weather permitting, of course! 🙂
So lovely … the perfect spot for a tea party!
Thank you, Denise. It is a great outdoor ‘room’ for hanging out in the warm weather.
