The tiny forest was on the corner of a busy cul-de-sac. The sounds of the city too busy to track
Off the side of a drive-way packed with too much human life and refuse was the opening
Enter within the arched trellis teeming with red Avant Garde Clematis
Suddenly, the sounds of the neighborhood silenced, replaced by a soothing serenity
Even at midday, the sunlight was distilled
It was calmly busy. This tiny little ecosphere
It was home to an endangered barn owl and all manner of birds, squirrels, and bunnies living harmoniously
Boston Ivy lovingly embracing the brick of the house to grow with wild abandon up and around the windows two floors from the ground
The stone walkway is reminiscent of the many cobbled lanes of England that roam through towns on their way to the beautiful stone walls festooned by Fire-Spinner Ice Plants producing blooms that start out orange on the outside into pink, then lighter pink…
The small metal rocking chair beckons you to whittle away the time and enjoy the Zinnias rising at the edge of the forest to entice the butterflies
The climbing roses tease the viewers on the other side of the fence. As if to show off a little of the beauty that resides within
The leaves of the Aspen trees produce a delicate chime in the breeze adding to the sense of well-being and ease
Back to the trellis busy with clematis
The little magical garden is alone once more
To continue to thrive on the corner of a bustling cul-de-sac
