Happy Monday to all of you! Thank you so much for taking time to read the blog. I have said before that I really appreciate it and love the comments. I hope this is the beginning of a good week for everyone! I have decided to show what I have done on the Mystery Halloween Sampler tomorrow. I didn't get any pictures today. We did take some photos of the garden. It looks so pretty now. The ten days of sun we had brought it to life. I think I have said before that one reason we moved here was the mild summer. You can work outside almost everyday very comfortably. I'm such a coward about the heat. In Kentucky I started fine in the garden in the spring. Then by summer, I stayed in the house with the AC blaring in my face. However, I love a traditional garden, that is a bit unusual for out here. I looked at photos of many gardens and tried to get a NW Williamsburg look to my flower garden. The SBA designed and built the garden. I have added all the plants. I love the way it turned out. But as it is with all gardens, it's a work in progress.
The second group of pictures shows some things I got on sale. We have a great little gift shop here in Poulsbo that carries Bethany Lowe things. I waited till after the 4th and then haunted the place till the two items I wanted were put on sale-50% off! Yea! Again, have a great week!
This is a view from our upstairs window.
My hydrangea are finally blooming.
My dear DIL and Son gave me a gift certificate for my favorite garden center for my "B" Day in May. These are solar lights . I got two of them and put them in pots on the deck.
Here is purchase number one.
Here is number 2. I love the vintage look of Bethany Lowe. I can't wait to see the new designs for Halloween!
Love, love, love the view from your window! That garden is gorgeous! We have been stuck indoors for the last three weeks with the air conditioning as we are having a heat wave like no other! A few days of cooler, humid, cloudy weather then we are right back in the thick of things. I cannot wait for September!

I think your round shaped garden has the Fengshui philosophy hasn't it?
ReplyDeleteMy poor English unfortunately is not enough to express my admiration:( So only can say that, it is just a wonderful point where I want to be relaxed and mused about some mental issues.
Thank you for sharing all those beauties with us.
Your garden looks so beautiful. Do you look at it out your window first thing in the morning? I would.
