The Obsessive Neurotic Gardener

  • About me
Posted on October 20, 2012 by jmarkowski Posted in Family .
A few quick items for today:
  • My ten year old son and his friend started a sports and autograph blog (like father like son) and I will be forever indebted to you all if you could give it a quick visit (they follow their traffic very closely), become a follower or even leave a comment. You can access it here. 
  • On Friday, I was fortunate enough to be on Fine Gardening’s “Photo of the Day” blog as their featured garden of the day. If you want to take a look, you can check it out here. Fortunately, I’m still fooling everyone into believing my garden look great. The beauty of photography.
  • Every morning, when I leave for work and walk out of my garage, I stare directly into my Miscanthus ‘Morning Light’. It puts a smile on my face throughout the seasons. Here is what I saw recently as the fog was slowly starting to lift in the early morning behind the Miscanthus:                

Good times.

Enjoy the weekend.

John

    What a beautiful scene with which to begin your day! It almost makes it easier to get up and go to work each morning!

    I can see why it puts a smile on your face – it’s beautiful! Left a little comment on FG blog too. Love the pink Mycanthus – I’ve just started getting into grasses and only have 1 plant (don’t ask the name as I have no idea – it’s just a straight up grass with fall flowering heads – nothing special) I think I’ll have to look for this one
