Love Is... Spring Has Sprung ...
Come walk with me thru my gardens ...
they are starting to bring lovely colors & beauty
to the beds ... this is such an exciting time of the
year for me, as they come forth from their rest.
In the front garden ...
Harold has trimmed all the gardens & terraces in the front of our property with these bricks ...
he just finished these two

I hope you enjoyed just a wee portion of our gardens. I actually counted our purchased plants for the gardens this year, not counting the seeds I put in, I planted 1,065 which includes several new rhodies, rose bushes, azaleas, lots of perennials I have no idea what they are called but BOY are they pretty, petunias, begonias, iris, geraniums & impatiens. I am soooo excited to see how it all turns out in full bloom, so I'll spend a lot of morning tea with you as we walk along, peeking at the blooms kissed with dew.

Hi Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteOh thank you SO much for taking me strolling about the yard. I love seeing everything. The gardens are so fragrant and colorful. You all have been working so hard.
I love the gardens out front, and the bed around the flag pole is exquisite. I love it. You two have really outdid yourselves this year.
I love seeing the little bicycle planter as well. That is so darn cute.
Can't wait to get home again. Have a glorious week sweet Sis. I love you. All my love, Your Lil Sis, Sherry
