LOL<br />I just went out there in between rain showers to clip back Sweet Autumn until I can get to both areas I have her in and properly bind her in on the trellis .. I have to admit the smell of the "Chocolate Vine" is rather amazing for the tiny flower it has .. a mix of pansy scent with candy/chocolate smell ... now who wouldn't love that ?<br />This is an amazing garden ... heavenly .. I could get totally lost in it and love being lost ? LOL<br />Hope you enjoyed yesterday .. it was so beautiful .. I had a bit of the morning and I was in la la land with my garden , haha .. we are a funny bunch us gardeners eh ? <br />JoyCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-70397921191522916602012-05-12T16:47:44.591-07:002012-05-12T16:47:44.591-07:00My garden has a long way to go, I see. :)My garden has a long way to go, I see. :)My Little Home and Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519563352358635257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-5596720000766256262012-05-12T04:44:20.877-07:002012-05-12T04:44:20.877-07:00Incredible photos!

What a beautiful piece. Your photos are excellent, as always. It may have been a rainy day, but it was perfect for photography! <br /><br />I've wanted to ask you, what kind of camera are you using? I use an Olympus E-420 and have been extremely happy with it, but I've managed to damage the viewfinder area. I'm taking it to Henry's tomorrow because I haven't been able to focus properly. I'm hoping they will be able to repair it...<br /><br />DianeDiane at My Cottage Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855098457081134408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-7186293554266042122012-05-11T18:53:39.955-07:002012-05-11T18:53:39.955-07:00Beautiful garden Jennifer, glad you braved the rai...Beautiful garden Jennifer, glad you braved the rain and juggled the camera and umbrella to get some wonderful photos.
