Good morning folks, Hope you all are having a great week. We sure had some nasty weather here Sunday afternoon. Strong winds blowing heavy rains sideways and hail. Scary stuff. Our property is waterlogged. I did get out and mowed yesterday since the temperatures for the next few days are supposed to feel like it's in the low 100's. Yikes. Thank you all for your kind comments. They really touched my heart, and helped me see my gardens through your eyes instead of my own which sometimes sees everything wrong, or I feel bad because they don't meet up to certain standards. Thank you for taking the little tour and for taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate it. Reading them inspired me to work in the 'secret garden' yesterday. Anna ~ Glad you and your DH enjoyed the stroll. The paths in the gardens are roll-roofing for some and the part that looks like little steps is shingle roofing. I like how that part looks too. Some of the path material we bought some we found curb-side shopping. One of these days I'll go around taking pictures of our yard art, benches, etc. Felix ~ You are welcome, glad you were inspired. That's what sharing about our gardens does, inspires. Kate ~ Thank you. It has all come together through the years and is a continual work in progress. Goldenpond ~ We found ours, 3 of them, they are hiding the down spout. :-) We love old concrete stuff and in our area we have 'found' a lot curbside. Benches, tables, columns, pots. We're getting too old to lift that stuff these days so something would have to be really special. I think the last thing we got was a 48" diameter tiled cement table top. It was broken but still together and we got the smaller broken bits to bring home and use for our outdoor solar shower floor. Loading that into the back of the wagon about did us both in. ~ I bet your benches look nice and now they can be enjoyed by you and guests. Do you have pictures? Kara ~ Thank you. We love our iron gates and trellis also. I keep working on making our place look better and feel better, and with all the rain we've had in the past two weeks, it's fuller. I will post pictures when things are in bloom again. The blue bottle bouquet is in a terra cotta pipe that I recently had to stake with two pipes on the inside because it went over, thankfully nothing broke. We had those horribly strong winds on Sunday and they stayed right where they are. :-) SaintP ~ ;-) I was going to email you but see you don't have that option in your profile. Anyway, thank you. The driveway and front gates were given to us in trade for work that DH did. The gate in the main garden, I don't even remember where we got it. We did a lot of buying at a local flea market for years, so got a LOT of stuff there, plus yard sales. I don't know about mastering the cottage garden look, organized randomness vs. chaos. I feel the gardens look pretty chaotic but am working toward a peaceful, calm look and feeling. Thanks for the encouragement. Puglvr ~ Thank you. Right now it sure is lush from all the rain we've had. Orchids are blooming, both ground and the wild vanda types, roses are starting to, seedlings are growing, and before long everything will need trimming again. One of my favorites is the Queen Crepe Myrtle and it's in bloom right now. Thonotorose ~ Ah ha, you noticed. It's been many years now since he visited and left his mark. We only found one of these though. Atreelady ~ Thank you very much. Yes, it is a labor of love. Thank you again everyone. Your words have been encouraging and inspiring. FlowerLady

It is a sable colored Labradoodle. He was chocolate brown as puppy, but as he grew, he changed to sable. DD wanted a dog with a even, gentle temperament, that was hypoallergenic, that did not shed, and that could be trained. She and DSIL got the dog about 2 years before the twins came along. He went to boarding school for a month when he was 4-6 months old. Then whenever they would go out of town, they would board the dog for the weekend and he’d get “refresher training.” Plus, DD and DSIL were careful to not undermine his training. When the babies came along, he was calm and gentle around them. If the twins got boisterous, the dog would just move to another room. Our neighbors have a Goldendoodle. She is a good bit more rambunctious. I don’t know if that is an issue with the breed or if it is an issue with training.

Everything looks so pretty. There's not that much blooming here besides bulb plants and trees. What is that purple flower in the 3rd pic?

Hong it does look like a cross between an allium and a scabiosa. lol Jennifer those are beautiful. I bet the freesia smells wonderful. I can't believe that your asclepias is already in bloom. Mine isn't even up yet! lol I should post flower pics from last spring. I have the same things growing this year plus a whole lot more but everything is very late because of the extended cold temps. My poppies are normally in bloom already and they don't even have buds yet.

The 3rd pic looks like a kalanchoe and the yellow one in the next pic is some type of Sempervivum. I have one blooming in the greenhouse but mine has more orange in it. You must really hate when I post pics. lol I do all the thumbnails at once and don't know how to label them unless I do one at a time.

Thanks you all. Lol no I don't hate you cause I don't know how to do it either. I just say the first pic is this the second pic is that and so on. I spend hours trying to figure out what the beautiful plants are you are always making me drool over, lol. I'm going to bed. Gotta cut trees and do something with the ton of stuff from the stump grinding. How would juniper wood do for a mulch, lol.

I love the solid green foliage wallflowers but that variegated one is really something. I might have to go look for one. Did you grow it from seed or buy a plant?

Lol, I kept waiting for the pics to load going where are they, lol. Those are all so pretty. I will get there one day. I sure wish I didn't have to work. I could make the yard look nice a lot faster, lol. Of course that would be after I won the lottery and had money to pay someone to do all the work and I just pick out the stuff, lol.

Karyn I bought the Varigated but I took 2 small clippings today and Im gonna try to root them. I hate buying plants I love seeds its so much cheaper. But I have to say Lowes here really outdid there self this year. Ill go broke if I go back so im avoiding them now. Anyone got any cool seeds to share feel free to speak up. I have some Purple coneflower, Hostas, Cosmos, Bell pepper, Egg plant, Okra, Crimson Watermelon, and Nastrium and a few others i can trade.

It was really hard to resist those hydrangeas today at Walmart. That was one of the best looking bunches of them I have seen in while and some very unusual colors. I want an endless summer one.
