Brooke and her friends...

The Shade bed is DONE!

Today I finished planting the new bed by the pool! The shady plants went in on the right side, and I think I will like it.
Now... to enjoy the pool that we've worked on all spring!!! Happy Memorial Holiday!

Garden Update

So now the garden space is half finished. The sunny side has plants! Esparanza, Hibiscus, Speedwell, Salvia Greggii, Jasmine, Aztec Grass, White Lantana, and the Elephant Ears.

The double knockout roses will go by the front door... RAN out of sun space! Now, for some shady plants... looking for Astilbe, fern, hosta, coleus, impatiens, etc!

So, I realized that I don't have updated pics of the inside of the new house yet... Here is the new fireplace... one element that we really love. Mike helped with the fireplace tile, and with the handscraped wood floor install as well. It is coming along!

Unknown Caterpillar

This strange little guy was just hangin out on a tree by the patio. I thought he was rough bark at first, until he moved!!!

MothersDay

Lauren surprised me with a hammock, which I LOVE... and Brookie made me a CAKE... a beautiful cake!!! What an awesome, beautiful, relaxing day! A tour through my favorite Weston Gardens... an annual event for Mothers Day. Gardens, Harpist, Tea and Cookies... Gorgeous weather..... AHHHHhhhhh.

Blank Canvas...

The shrubs and iris are gone, the weeds are out, and the canvas is now bare, and waiting on a new design. We are thinking it over and planning for the next phase... stay tuned for a new look!

CHOCOLATE!

I just LOVE Chocolate.....!!!
