  2. My fave is August. The path is lovely, like something out of a magazine! I can appreciate the hard work put in to the path and laying those stones...

  3. I don't even like winter, but December is a stunning photo with the oblique light. But May through August have me longing for summer by the lake. Beautiful photos, Jack!

  4. What a wonderful seasons cavalcade. You have snow in December, beautiful. This year we haven't got snow in Denmark. Not that I miss it! My favourite is October - lovely picture. (Sorry if this is misspelled!)

  8. Hello from Denmark.

    What a lovely blog.
    Looking through your pictures I can see that you have many of the sae plants as we have here in Denmark. I suppose the climate is almost the same.
    I have a small nursery and sell some plants native to USA. It¨s exiting to find plants from other spaces and try them here.

    Good day to you.
    Helga

  11. Hello, new blogger friend. All of your photos are stunning but April is my fav. The lady bug won me over. Maybe it's a Japanese Beetle.

    I'm pleased to have found another Wisconsin garden blogger. Now I need to get busy and do some blogging of my own.

    Happy day to you.

  13. Hi Jack,

    Thank you for your comment on my blog. I enjoyed it very much! What a great garden you have. The flowers, especially on your first photo, look stunning. It must be difficult gardening in zone 4/5 with those low temperatures in winter.

    Happy day!

  15. Hi Jack,

    HAppy to find you! You have a wonderful garden! So nice to see all those pictures and the different seasons, so similar that what we have in Finland!

    Nice thing that you find my blog, we share the "zone", even though I think you are right about having warmer summers.

    I'm so I havent been able to insert a google translator as a gadget (it always says it is broken???) but if there are some of the stories you would like have in english I will be happy to write an english translataion to the end.... as soon as I have the time (my twins and 3 other kids are just now taking all the energy after work... I would be so happy getting back as a housewife... althoug I have one of the best works one could imagine, still... it is a w o r k !)...

    Have a nice week!
    Yours, Karolina
