RE: Monochrome Monday ~ The Relaxing Joy Of A Drip ~ Original Photography and Discussion ~
That looks like fun! ... and a lot of work. Maybe it's easier in the city, though. Around where my parents live, the deer, rabbits, chipmunks, ground squirrels, moles, etc. chew everything up.
That sort of reminds me of the huge Patio festival in the city of Córdoba, Spain. The patios are on the inside of peoples' homes so, most of the year, only the families see them. During the festival, though, you can enter and some of them are incredible!
I can do the fun part. The work part to keep it going, is probably beyond me. I guess it is a choice of priorities. I spend more time on here than gardening, and right now, cutting grass and doing summer chores. So the nice garden is a dream. We DO put in a food garden, so that is gardening, but more for eating. I gotta get on that soon. The weather hasn't been helping much. Do you put in a garden? Probably not, as you've been in school. And THAT takes even MORE time. Can't say as I miss it much....then again, I wasn't exactly a model student.
That patio festival sounds grand. I would love to see that. So many places to relax and hang out and they would be, no doubt, beautiful. I love a patio all lit up with light strings or candles. I have a bunch of hanging candles I put out in the yard when entertaining. When it happens, which is seldom, but it's fun.
Have a nice weekend, hope the weather is improving.
Thanks! The weather is supposed to be back to "normal" soon. We're stuck with a heat wave, now...
Yeah... No garden for me. My parents have taken up straw bale gardening, as they live out in the country, but I'm renting an apartment and don't have a place for that.
The Spanish patios are amazing. The older homes are almost like the Roman design, where they have a central patio in the middle of the home, and they have sometimes hundreds of pots stuck to the interior walls. During the festival, the patio is like a little room with flowers for walls, and many have a fountain in the center.

Thanks for the link. Amazing indeed. I would get NOTHING of import done in Spain...
