The basket in the foreground is a hanging strawberry plant (obviously not hanging!!!) that has surprisingly produced several yummy strawberries!
We babysat our granddog Ruuk last weekend (our grand children all have fur...two meow and this one barks). Ya think he wasn't itching to take a dip in the pool and catch a koi or two?
Have a quick peek at the lovely impatiens in the background, nicely nestled in the crevices, cascading beautifully over the rocks....until Ruuk decided to take a wander over yonder! They are mere sticks now. No...the lawn chair wasn't enough to block his path (what was I thinking???) However, sometimes a good pinch-back produces more blooms...except we will likely have snow before that happens!
We are having a wonderful visit with our daughter! It is so nice to have her home. She is off visiting a friend right now, so I have taken a few minutes to sneak to my blog and finally post something.
Who knows....next time it might actually be a card!!!
Gorgeous - can't believe this is the same yard as the last photo you posted! Enjoy the summer while it lasts!
ReplyDeleteWho knew this beautiful oasis was hidden under the snow all that time! Your yard is gorgeous! I love the water feature,flowers and plants. They look so lovely. Ruuk looks very similar to our Nanook. Enjoy your daughters visit as I know it is such a delight to have them home and the time flies by. Looking forward to seeing something crafty from you ;)
ReplyDeleteOoh, fabulous garden, Geri! I've missed your posts, but there's no better excuse for not blogging than family :)
ReplyDeleteGeri!!!! I'm so excited to "see" you!!! WHAT an amazing, beautiful garden! Oh, I am just sinking into relaxation just looking at it! No wonder you have been out there gardening and enjoying it so much this summer - I would trade in my card making for a season of that too!!! I can just see friends laughing and have a fabulous time there, you and you hubby just sitting and enjoying a glass of wine there, a summer bbq... - oh, it is just.so.lovely!!! Hope you enjoy the rest of your daughter's visit - I have been meaning to send you a little note to say that for days now - geesh! What a treat to have her home! Spend as much time with her as you can!!! xo
ReplyDeleteHey, Ger! So great to see your beautiful yard again this year! It always looks like a magazine garden! Your granddog is beautiful, too, even if he doesn't know the difference between a lovely impatiens and a pigweed, bless him! We all miss you and your brilliant cards, but just enjoy Brady as long as you can!! Mwah! Darnell
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Geri...really miss seeing your cards. Enjoy your time with your family.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty garden, Geri! It looks so relaxing and like a great spot for a book and a glass of wine! Love the greens and colors much more than the snow! Cute little grand critter, and really wanted those fish too! Funny! Am having fun with DT&K, and will em when I can. Have fun with DD. Bev
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely, Geri!!! I'd love to see your fish!!! We have some, too and LOVE our little pond...we sit out there daily and our favorite time is in the morning when it's not so hot and the kids are still in bed! I find it hard to take pictures that do justice, though...can't get past the glare/reflection off the water...no matter what angle. So glad you shared these with us!!! Enjoy the rest of that visit!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous :) love how beautifully everything is maintained, simply amazing :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous yard! Far too beautiful to be covered in snow 10 months of the year. Your grandpup is a handsome boy...thanks for sharing!
