OG, the Original Garden

                                                   I been Takin it old skool,

By that,
 I mean I am working in the Original garden lately.
the winter snows
as well as Vandals
 wrecked havic on the gardens
and I had been having so much fun in the new garden area
That i neglected the OG.
so I slowed down, looked around and I Recreated and  rediscovered

                                                                                                     What I thought was lost

These are some of the things that tickle my eye,

As I

Glide through the woods.

Sometimes its strange that these things are here at all,

 seems they just

Magicaly appear

Go Play,

Go Make ,

A Pleasure Garden for yourself

Peace in Y'all

Sometimes I wonder
             what someone would think
                                  if they chanced upon me
                                                                    In the woods

as I uncover our yard

and discover whats been sleeping

Under the snow.

I'm also discovering the Forrest that surrounds us

 wandering through the woods

following deer trails

Picking up pieces

Of

 rotting wood

dusting it off like a diamond

and presenting it as art.

would they look at me

like

Someone painting by a stream.

or

would I appear

A madman...

Peace In Y'all

oh yeah and as a special request

Horse shoe pits

Dart board

 (Lower part re purposed lattice)

And

N.M.C.C.

Sitting in the woods I feel at peace.

In a world that makes little sense to me

I feel so lucky

to have a Retreat.

The Nice thing about Ninja gardening is

You can NEVER make a Mistake.

what ever you do,

its the way its supposed to be.

Lately I have been enjoying putting
interesting wood on top of old dead scrub oak branches.

I find a cool peace of wood then I clean it up, bring out all its good sides, place it on top of the Stick,
then I Clip away any twigs around
it to give it that Floating look



I also like to highlight areas that catch my eye,
stumps, Rocks or even  a group of trees.

there seems to be

 a calming effect on me

As I drift through the woods

UNaware of time

Or

the need to do some thing

Correctly

To be a ninja gardener

is

to create a Peace garden

of your own design

And leave it to be discoverd

even if its only for you

and the Deer.

who have given me

their blessing

by not running away

 from me anymore,

Don't you just love peace.

Trespassers will

                                         
        As a Ninja gardener I trespass,

        If i didn't I would just be landscaping.

The new area that I am creating in requires,

That I cross over fences

3 Times.

sometimes I wonder about the person who,

 OWNS the land,

what would they think if they knew what I was doing on their land.

would they like it

would they hate it

who knows?

the way I look at it

I go onto your property

create a work of

Temporary art

and then gift it to the land owners

for my appreciation of the joy it gave me to

Play in the woods.

I only use what I find laying around

all art will eventually

return to the earth.

Lately though,

the fact that I trespass

has taken on new meaning

I have never met the person who owns the land

don't know who it is

as a matter of fact

I have never seen another person there

EVER

yet I am never alone.

walking along the trail

the locals watch me

wary of my every move.

the locals of course are

the deer

and this time of year the woods

Are thick with them.

I can usually walk up to them pretty close,

then sit and watch as some 20 deer

disappear then reappear between Bush's

all around me.

today I walked up to them in what I call

"The Gallery"

they were laying there in the morning sun.

The Gallery is a circular pathway

that I have concentrated art pieces

in a spiral fashion.

when I show up

I sometimes get the same feeling I got In Hi.

when you walk out on  a

 Locals only beach,

Deer

" Stink Eye "

and though this may sound silly

It is weighing heavy on me.

funny...

I don't think about trespassing

The Land owner

But I do wonder about

The Deer.

so these are pics of what I do when I am

Trespassing on YOUR land.

hope It's cool,

                                                   for EVERYTHING.

Peace in Y'all
