We find ourselves mid-July and the stair-rods are relentless. Maybe now is the time to let go of expectation, childhood idylls of a lazy, hazy summer . Despite sadness at dead-heading blooms denied their moment of glory, there is a beauty in the lush vegetation of this Olympic summer garden. The prehistoric ferns have unravelled their fronds and produce perfect structures to showcase the rain. I agree, the idea of displaying raindrops is unique, but a garden is organic and we in turn must let go of our conventions of beauty and embrace nature's beauteous bounty; unconditionally!
