From the road
Recently a reader asked for more pictures of the grounds of Acorn Abbey. I admit that I’m stingy with such photos. This is because it will be years before the abbey looks the way I want it to look — overgrown and blooming. Ken and I have planted a lot of stuff this summer, but it’s never enough. And, once planted, a few years of patience is required to see the result. But seeing as how the abbey grounds are pretty green right now with the generous amount of rain we’ve had in the past week, I went out and took some pictures this morning.
You can see the tops of the garden fence uphill from the abbey.

From behind the house looking toward the opposite ridge
From across the road
The chickens’ view
Looking into the garden fence, toward what I hope to call an orchard someday
Baby figs on a baby fig tree. You also can see a newly planted peach tree and newly planted grapevines.
Mornin’, girls…
Abelia under the bay window. Can you espy the bug? Abelia is a member of the honeysuckle family.
