Garden Tour

With all this rain I needed some color. So the other day I went outside in the rain to take some pictures of my garden.

Grab yourself a little drink and snack and enjoy!!!

The kids and I painted bird houses. This is my bird house!!!

This is Ballerina's bird house. You can see a bird popping his head out of the hole.

Speed Racer painted this bird house.

I don't have a place to hang plants so I use plant stands on the deck to provide some privacy on our deck.

I got these planters for free from where I use to work.

Duckling in the white flowers.

Every year I pick a color scheme for the backyard and this year the colors are red and white!!

My geraniums.

More flowers in a basket.

Our bird bath, my boots, columbine, and lily flowers that we planted in memory of our dog Lily who passed last year!!

More columbine flowers.

My pink azaleas. I can't wait for them to bloom.

My snowball hydrangeas that we bought last year for our Anniversary!!

I recently purchased these foxgloves from Home Depot. 3 for $9.99.

I just love these flowers.

White Bleeding Hearts

My vegetable and herb garden.

My little bench that gets moved around all season long. However I think it found it's permanent home right here.

Since I can't have chickens, I thought I would add this little guy!!

My window boxes. I only have them at the garage windows, but wish I could do them at all the windows.

Our kayak. I thought since it's outside we should use it as decorations!!!

Speed Racer's fire truck. He doesn't fit into it anymore. I just threw the flowers in there because I needed to get them out of my car. But I am starting to like them here!!

A little sitting area under the pear tree for people to sit in as they watch the kids play.

My chocolate pepper budding.

My peonies. I can't wait for them to bloom!!! I was hoping this week but I am thinking next week!!

A little fountain that I made!! I LOVE the sound of running water.

This was my veggie and herb garden last year but I am going to try for wildflower garden. My strawberries grow here along with my chives, and scallions.

My strawberries. See the white spot that's a strawberry.

A little area ode to summer camp.

A recent purchase for $5.00. Croquet. Now we need to learn how to play it!!

Hope you enjoyed the tour!!
