I am blissfully away at the beach right now but thanks to WordPress’ “publish later” feature… I give you
MY GARDEN
This is where we sit and relax after a long day at work or sometimes on a beautiful sunny morning to eat doughnuts! The Moments sign was was hung for our women’s group and just has stayed there ever since.
This bench looks onto our playground and frankly, I have never sat on it! It gets its use from various moms and dads who are watching their children play at one of our numerous kiddie parties.
Here is another bench I have never sat on. Behind it is the trunk of my persimmon tree, a pot of herbs and my cherry tomatoes.
This door goes into my home and right outside it is our fountain. We love listening to the soothing sound of the water.
Yes that is a naked lady…
Here is a trellis of grapes, last year was the first year it bore fruit, YUM! Below the grapes are strawberries that a bird dropped in… THANKS Mr. Bird!
Here is the infamous planted typewriter!
These are our future pumpkins!
More tomatoes, these are “Better Boy”
Here are various stages of our sugar plums!
My favorite flower is the hydrangea and I was so lucky to find a HUGE one growing in the yard when we bought the house.
What a lovely hose reel isn’t it? It’s kinda hard to hide these things. Like these sprinkler controls.
However, the most favorite things in my yard are my kids and my dogs.
Thank you Tracey for hosting a wonderful Garden Tour!

Hi Emilie……I love your garden photos! The planted typewriter is such a cute idea, but I think my favorite is the flowing curtains on your patio area. Thanks for sharing your garden with us today.
Warm regards,
Debbie
