There is a Garden Party going on and you are invited. Cielo at the House in Roses is having a Garden Party and we are to show our garden to celebrate the first day of summer. So sit back and enjoy my garden.....
First we will start in the patio and sit and relax and have some Lemonade.
Maybe BBQ some Hot Dogs........
It's 111 degrees today so maybe a dip in the pool?
Oh, lets take a little peek in the rose garden portion of the yard.....
Isn't this the cutiest "Flower Bed". If you look at another post of mine, I tell you how this is made
Here is the "heart" of the garden.......The Potting Shed
Do you smell the fragrance of all the Gardena plants? It just fills the air with a sweet fragrance!
(I love to pick fresh flowers and float them in a bowl of water in the house...it makes the whole room smell so good!)
Here's the Marigold bed in full bloom......this is the only plant that the squirrels and rabbits don't eat!
Oh, look inside this birdhouse and see the nest with little blue eggs......
Oh my, look inside this birdhouse and see the little birds that have just hatched. Don't they look hungry?
The Petunias look like they are doing just fine...................the rabbits and squirrels haven't found them yet!
Check out this weird looking flower. What the heck is it?
The Petunias look like they are doing just fine...................the rabbits and squirrels haven't found them yet!
I have so many different

Here is Charlie the Turtle, he saw us taking pictures and thought he would come on over to see if we have any food for him.
This is my Granddaughter Harper feeding him some carrots!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the tour. It's absolutely beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is spectacular, I don't know where I would like to sit if I were there. Would it be under your gorgeous veranda, playing in your adorable potting shed, or walking through your garden admiring all the flowers. You truly live in paradise, and you even have a lovely granddaughter too. You are blessed. Karen

I have never seen so many gorgeous gardens as I have today. I enjoyed my tour of your garden so much. I just planted a gardenia bush last year and noticed this morning its first blooms. Inspired by your words I am going to go out and pick some to float in some water. Hope you're having a fabulous day. ~ Lynn
ReplyDeleteEverything is just absolutely beautiful. Your personality is reflected in all of your fun and lovely features.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love your garden and your blog. I will visit again soon. The garden party is so much fun. The nest with the eggs and babies is just too adorable for words.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your patio! So hot there! Where on earth do you reside? I thought it was hot here in East Texas! Loved the tour. Especially, oh, how to break it down... The wonderful "bed" of flowers, the sweet little birds' eggs and the birdies! Your lovely granddaughter Harper (love the name) and the turtle. Oh, all so beautiful! So happy Cielo has made us a part of this. She's a sweetie pie!

Hello Annie, Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and viewing my garden photos. You have a very pretty garden. There are so many different types of blooms in your yard.

ReplyDeleteWell now Annie Frannie, that is some place to live in. I loved looking at the pictures. Harper is a cutie and so funny that you have a turtle that stops in. Ok So I get lots of good things at the thrift and yard sales. I don't have a turtle. I do have four Grand daughters.
