    NATIVE AMERICAN CODE OF ETHICS . Give thanks to the Creator each morning upon rising and each evening before Sleeping.

    Seek the courage and strength to be a better person.
    Showing respect is a basic law of life.
    Respect the wisdom of people in council. Once you give an idea it no longer belongs to you, it belongs to everyone.
    Be truthful, at all times.
    Always treat your guests with honour and consideration. Give your best food and comforts to your guests.
    The hurt of one is the hurt of all. The honour of one is the honour of all.
    Receive strangers and outsiders kindly.
    All races are Children of the Creator and must be respected.
    To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, or nation is One of the main purposes for which people are created. True Happiness comes to those who dedicate their lives to the service of Others.
    Observe moderation and balance in all things.
    Know those things that lead to your well-being and those things that lead to your destruction.
    Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms: in prayer, in dreams, in solitude and in the words and actions of elders and friends.

Walkabout with me

Posted by dianed101 on May 12, 2008

This is so cool, just made the slide show and then I was able to load it right onto the site from there.

So I took these pics on Friday as I walked slowly around my place, so you can see the plant  abundance I am living with and share with me the wonderful feelings plants can bring..

This is how I pictured my place to be when I first moved here 2 1/2 years ago with nothing but a few plants and bare walls surrounding me.  I dreamed of my trailer being covered in vines and it’s well on it’s way now with my lovely morning glory vines now reaching the roof.

    Diane, this is wonderful!

    You’ve made a lovely estate around your manor. :)
    It’s perfect in every way. And such an interesting, creative landscape.
    I look forward to seeing photos of foliage and blooms as they
    conform to the seasons or their life cycles.

    Are you partial to any particular color or types of plants?
    Do you have any that are especially aromatic?
    Do you grow herbs?

    I will visit this charming garden again and again.
    It is certainly a labor of love. :)

    Thank you so much! Best wishes, Whisel*

    Hi Whisel and thanks for your appreciation. I was just outside now planting some of the new plants I got yesterday. Lobelia, allysum and cuphea.
    I have some herbs, rosemary, just got a lavendar. Have tried with lavendar for years now, they do not survive well for me though they grow easily in the ground. Nearly all of my plants are of necessity in containers.
    I have seedlings of tomatoes, basil and lavendar (not up yet). In another area of the yard, we are growing tomatoes, which my ex is enclosing with a frame and wire due to varmits that like to eat any fruit.
    Oh and I got anaheim chilli’s and red and green pepper.
    Colors I like especially are the pinks, purples, whites. Just got a white hydrangia and I have purple, white and red/yellow lantana.
    The lantana are aromatic, as are the privet which are now flowering…i have another purple flower which is aromatic but can’t remember the name of it. I have failed with jasmine a number of times, so I don’t know if I’ll try it again, but I do love flowers with some aroma to them.
    I adore and love my plants so much,don’t know how I could live without them.
    Can’t wait till the plants enfold my entire place, in the secret garden.
    I wish all could share with me, but till then these photo’s will have to do. So join me again for a walkabout, love to you whisel.

    Fabulous Diane!

    This is at least 4 times more plants, flowers, vines and trees since I was there to visit a couple of years ago.

    What an Oasis!

    I know you are loving it.

    Hi Diane, Whisel and Shirl.

    Lovely place you have Diane. Being one without a green thumb, I envy you and your lush garden.

    I was think earlier that it was kind of funny that just when you came back, I took off for awhile. It’s good to see you up and blogging again.

    Take care

    Family Man, so glad you dropped by. Glad you are back in the blogging world again, I missed you. I check Booman all the time and knew that you were in blog retreat, so I was happy when your name started to appear again.
    I will add you site to my blog roll too.
    Please stop in often, we need another voice on this site, in fact many more voices.
    Best wishes and big hugs.
    Diane
