With a lot of plants (activity): Seedlings, cuttings of all kinds, half finished gardenjobs and a selfsown walnuttree of 20 years old that had it first crop this year.
The cat-refuge is meant to be overgrown by climbers, so its contours will be softened by green and coloured flowers.
The roses love that place; In 2 1/2 years Mme. Alfred Carrière grew more than 5m!
Almost the same spot a few years ago in winter and spring 2010:

Your garden IS beautiful Jay Jay. Amazing what water can produce, even in a harsher climate. Your photos make for a very nice "rest" from my arid, semi desert climate. Thank you for sharing the fruits of your passionate labors! Happy Holidays!

Thank You Kim for the very nice and much appreciated compliments! I hope you can get in the mood for Christmas in Your semi desert-climate.
Here, there's no white Christmas this year, its about 10° C and Mme A. C. is still green in almost all her foliage.
And I wouldn't call our climate harsh; we enjoy all seasons!
But in a way, You're right. I once became a severe frostbite when I was on my bike at -16° C and winds up to 9 Beaufort.

Your day temps are a bit higher than our evening temps right now. They're forecasting somewhere around 23.9 C today and Christmas, but don't tell anyone, please! It's already too crowded around here! LOL!
