Penelope Bianchi: Favorite Things

Wish I hadn't seen this chicken coop, below.  Was already planning a spot for 4 heirloom chickens this fall.  

 How did I miss this garden?  Honoring animals, below, in stone.

 The floating duck house, below.  Keeps babies safer from shoreline predators.

 The best relationship in my life was with my Grandma.  BEST.

A lucky little girl, loving her Grandma.  Penelope's granddaughter, above.

Penelope Bianchi, known for interior design, is the full package.  She designs gardens too.  Magic is in the loving life she creates for all entering.

This is what I adore about a gardening lifestyle.  It meanders thru the layers of life.  Nature, travel, loved ones, antiques, pets, a new project, being with old friends, meeting new friends, cooking, solitude, & etc.
.
I adore the sublime inspiration from Penelope's blog.  She reminds me of E.M.Forster when he writes of 'resources'.

Garden & Be Well,         XO Tara

Pics from Penelope's blog.  I'm dangerous now, have a picture of an idea for the chicken coop.  Of course the bid will come back, budget will say 'no', then I'll connive something fabulous & affordable.
