Just over a year ago I blogged about the difference between project and process. I thought I’d do a small followup here so that you can see the process of my developing Goddess Garden.
Shown here is one of the five panels made by artgalpals when I started the process of building this garden. This panel is by Joan Humpries and I sited it on a hump of dirt that has been a hump of dirt for the over 15 years I’ve lived in this house. Lots of clay – little grew, even with years and yars of oak leaves left to make soil over the years.
This is also my try out for playing with Magic Garden-type walls (I got the one piece done: the blue bottles with center goddess. Then was pretty much stymied). The forms around the panel are meant for mosaic-ing. Best intentions were squelched by the early and unrelenting heat of last year’s summer. Once it arrived I was done for the year, and this project part of the whole process came to a screeching halt.
Except for the last two days, this spring has had beautiful weather and that weather is supposed to resume again tomorrow – I have plans to use it!
Last week, while the weather was mild and clear, I took advantage and began work on the process again – It may have looked as if I had given up totally, but: NO!
Here are pictures side by side so you can see how the transformation is going:
I’ve made progress on other areas of the Lane – which is the area where the garden goddess is located. I have added perennials that are coming up right now making things look very green, and transplanted and repotted hostas which love the shade found in this area. That’s another post. Hope you enjoy this one!

If you could have anything at all, what would it be? What is the most enjoyable dream you have ever had? Where do your beliefs reflect your dreams? What can you do to expand your dreams? What is your greatest advantage in life? If you knew for certain that you could have all you desire, what is the first thing you would do? What would your ideal life look like? What would you need to really believe in to live for the life of your dreams ow? What has to happen for you to expand yourself beyond what you think is currently possible? If the range of possiblities for you is limitless, then what is attainable for you in your lifetime? When you believe that you can’t have what you want, what do you know about yourself and how do you feel about yourself? What would it take for you to use your mind, imagination and emotions to create heaven on earth? We are the opening verse of the opening page of the chapter of endless possibilities. Ken D. Foster

My ideal life…my life right now is the best it has ever been. I am the happiest, the most contented, the most in touch with who I am, the most peaceful, centered, and calm inside…moreso than I have ever been. It was very hard work to get here. I don’t know how it could get any better…but I am more than willing for life to surprise me further. 🙂 Oh, I guess better health would be nice, but I am not complaining. Life always seems to be a mix of good and bad. 😉
I love your garden. I love your style. I love your passion, Lady! 🙂
