Bypassing the happy, excited little darlings who were waiting for their parents to pick them up, we headed for another bench that we call 'our' bench. In all the time we have visited this area, we have never seen anyone else making use of it. From where we sit we can see the garden and we use this vantage point to watch the activity at the bird boxes not too far away. One time in a post dated June 9th, 2021, we watched blue bird parents going back and forth to feed their young. You can see that post at this link. There is another one here that will show you the actual garden. You may have seen these before.

We sit under a very simply built arbor with grapevines trailing around the poles, and look at the overhanging grapes above us and on the side. Here you will see the arbor when it was first erected, and there were no trailing vines to give it such a pretty look. The arbor is rustic in appearance and as it is now, I find it charming. It is very peaceful once more and we take everything in around us. I am guessing that the poles originally came from the surrounding woods, where supplies are plentiful from naturally fallen trees. We stay there for quite a while but eventually walk back to the car. More photos to follow eventually.
Thanks for looking and
I wish you all a very happy Sunday!
The grape leaves are so pretty with the sun shining on them.

Deletethis makes me miss my daddy's grape arbor. it was exactly like this one, and I spent many happy moments under it eating those grapes.. I would be first on the bench that bypassed the children, ha ha... the further away the better.
