My Back Yard Garden

It always amazes me how fast a perennial garden takes over.

Just a short few weeks ago, I had weeded all the gardens for the
first time this year and other than taking a glimpse here and there, I have left them alone waiting for the weather to allow me to plant my annuals.

But, when I saw how much they had grown in the last week
while we were away.

Wow!  It did not take me long to hit the nursery.
Here are some pictures taken this morning . . .



When it comes to my garden, I enjoy May through July the most.

Everything is up and growing!!!!!!!!!! And it all looks fresh.  There is something new each day to enjoy.  By mid-June the annuals are up and running and July is filled with color and on-going growth.

These two are taken from the yard looking toward the back of the garden.  There is a path that follows along side the house to another garden area (the little brown building is actually our neighbors)





This is the peninsula area.


Peninsula area





My peonies all in bud!














These last few pictures were all taken on the back side
of peninsula looking toward the house.


I have finally had the time and pleasure of getting outside and spending time
in my garden(s) . . . still more to do!

Down on the Farm

More Rooms to Love . . .

When we think farmhouse, often what comes to mind are
cows and chickens although this may be the case;
what is on the inside is up to you. 

Look at these amazing farmhouse styled rooms . . .and allow yourself to re-think your idea of being
"down on the farm."

"Yes, I Do . . ."

How did I spend my Mother's Day . . .


With the two most precious gifts God ever gave me.

What more could I ask for? 
One would think that spending time with family on Mother's Day would be all they could ever hope for
but, I had the extreme pleasure of seeing my Youngest Son become a Husband and my Oldest Son stood as his Best Man.
