Our little slice of heaven…

Bliss...

It is no secret by now that I have a lifelong love affair with trees!  Well, we now have our very own canopy tree in our (new) backyard- a lovely low hanging tree with the perfect umbrella shade and hundreds of large, golden lemons hanging like lanterns from it. Perfect!

Our little slice of heaven.

I cannot stress enough how such a simple little piece of garden space make our lives so much richer, calmer and inspired!

Since the weather here in Southern California is almost always gorgeous and sunny-warm clear days and comfortable cool nights, I have no trouble at all imagining many happy future days under this tree- curled up with a book, sipping home made cocktails or painting while the birds chirp excitedly around us!

Juicy golden lanterns

We love lying on our blanket and looking up to count the lemon lanterns.
