COUNTRY COTTAGE GARDEN IN THE SUBURBS

Mid June we headed out to Colorado for our bi-annual family trip and headed towards the mountains.  While we were out there, we made a short visit to see my aunt who lives in a suburb just outside of Denver.  Her house was nestled quietly in one of the many rows of streets that ran north and south for miles each way.  In the back of the house was a little oasis that resembled a country cottage garden.  Cat's quietly napping on the stoop, birds chirping in the gardens, bee's busy collecting honey, and warm Colorado summer heat warming the soul.  The girls had a blast playing in the cottage-like yard and making friends with the four guinea pigs she keeps as family pets.  While the girls played, we rested and took advantage of the quite nature and good company.  Here's to summer... and finding your little oasis.  enjoy!  gidje
