I too enjoyed your wonderful garden...through the photos you've shared. I can't wait for the snow to melt here so I can once again be outside digging in the 'dirt'!

I am overwhelmed by all the nice comments. We do work hard to make our spaces presentable. You can imagine all the leaves we deal with. I would not change that though, I love all the trees and little critters that come with them. I really enjoy the mornings on the deck with a cup of coffee. Listening to the birds and watching the squirrels chase each other through the canopy. It makes me feel far removed from our actual location.

What a lovely and peaceful garden you have created....it looks lush and happy! Carole www.carolemeyerart.com

Glad you pointed me in this direction via viewing your outdoor pictures. Like the others here, you have created your own little heaven on earth. So....your husbands making you that potting area must mean he LOVES you and the contribution you make on the garden and yard. I do love all I see, and particularly enjoyed seeing your dog and kitty picture. They look soooo content and well loved. I hope you consider using that sweet picture of your dog and the wreath as a Christmas card. Thanks for saring and for responding to my earlier post.
Happy plotting on your next project.

Wow...gorgeous yard and garden. You will enjoy this for years to come. You should share these on yardshare.com as well.

I absolutely love it. Its so refreshing and relaxing looking. I wish I had this back courtyard! Well done!

Thank you all for your lovely comments. I have so many ideas for our yard, I just need to learn how to make them come to fruition. It's a work in progress and isn't that what makes it so fun.

Oh this is gorgeous. This is my favorite look for an outdoor space. One with so much character that looks like it's been around for a long time, yet is well maintained. You did an amazing job here. It's magical. 5 stars.

stumbled on to your home and I think it is beautiful and inviting. "Come in and stay awhile" feeling." Enjoyed seeing every room, thank you for posting.

Charming... you have made it your own. Your hunting and gathering and artistic talent have created a very inviting and interesting space.
