stumpery
We passed on the Mothers Day luncheon
at the Beefeater...
instead we took to the woods,
Hubs and I.
We ploughed through the
undergrowth like a foraging
Robin Hood and
Maid Marion.
Before Ted had time to turn
the chariot round I was off.
Within minutes in the ancient woodland
I found exactly the decaying roots and
branches required.
The plants had been bought in readiness.
Primroses and violets I gathered from
the garden...
and
in the blink of a fairy's eye
A mysterious grotto appeared.
Mother Nature would be proud.

Very clever indeed. It looks as though it's always been there. And of course I'm GREEN with envy that you are planting anything. It's rained for two days here and we still have a big patch of snow outside my window.
ReplyDeleteWhere are you Marty? Rain? We know all about that this year. This is the first time that I have changed my tune about celebrating every season. Our soggy winter has put a stop to that... 'Winter...Bah... Humbug!'

Maid Marion did a great job. I absolutely love that combination of moss, the texture and shapes of the wood and the freshness of the plants. I bet the little critters will love it too.
ReplyDeleteYep! It's already looking for all the world like it has been there a good long while.

what a lovely little stumpery you have created Linda. I do the same on the beach, I have a large collection of driftwood pieces in the garden, the largest is a whole branch - they are awaiting some creative inspiration!
ReplyDeleteIn a ghastly way I'm pleased I'm not that close to the sea, because I would do exactly the same Jayne. A lot of my friends on seeing my garden make feeble mewing noises!

I'm going to copy this idea - hope you don't mind. I might make mine bigger because I fancy stomping round my stumpery!
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a good stomp I always say. Attitude is the new way forward, don't you know!

Now that's my kind of gardening!
ReplyDeleteWild gardening... me too Mrs WH... some might say idle gardening leaving corners untended, we couldn't possibly comment could we?
