bluebird





ブルーの化粧鉢をフォーカルポイントにと、いくつか置いています。
お花の季節だけでなく、
白と灰色だけの世界が果てしなく続くような気がする長い冬に、
このブルーが明るい気持ちを呼び起こしてくれます。

 I have a few glazed blue pots placed in the garden.  
 They create focal points during the gardening season 
but also add splash of color and cheer me up 
when the garden stays gray and white seemingly forever. 

土を入れたままにしていると、凍ってヒビが入るので
ふたつ、さかさまに置いてサイドテーブルのように使っています。
もう、4年冬越ししてくれました。

To avoid the soil from freezing and cracking the pots in the winter,
 I use some of them up-side-down, more like side tables and
 they have over-winter for four years now.



たまに遊びに来てくれる青い鳥と同じ色。

青い鳥の訪問ありますか?

みんなに幸福を運んで来てくれますように。

  Same color as the mountain bluebird.

Have you ever been visited by them?

May the bluebird bring you happiness.


Mountain Bluebird  Sialia currucoides

  1. Hi Chiko, I have never been on a blog before, you have some very pretty pictures, liked the bluebird, the quilt, the picture in Crested Butte. It's so green and I heard on the news this is one of the best years for the wild flower festival.

  2. Hi JoAnn,

    Thank you for coming by and your complement.

    The orange daylily on the slide is the one you'd shared with me five years ago. They bloom beautifully every year and have been very vigorous! The clustered bellflower is about to open too.

    Hope you are having a fun summer!
    Hugs,

  3. I love the blue in your garden. The coleus in the blue pot --- stunning! Just lovely.

  4. Thank you Kym!
    Surprisingly, this blue doesn't clash with other colors in the garden. I'm learning to work with vivid colors. Fun!
