Week 25... "You Are looking at my Garden"

Focus on Life ... Week 25
This is what I spend every nice day working on from March until I give up in September... None of what you see here was here when we bought this house in 2001... We bought a pink bungalo with weedy grass a couple of overgrown cedars and no garden!



Original house 2002... Yard and house 2010
Gallery sign has been improved upon in the last 3 years too!

(PS.  Since I took the pictures a deer has eaten the hosta!)

To see how other people interpreted "you Are...." check out the linkz on Sally's blog!

    You are - a gardner with a vision! It looks beautiful! I especially love those braeburry (that's not right, but i think you will know the one I mean) bushes. Dark burgundy leaves that go all speckle pink on the top and latter little yellow flowers. I love mine, amongst chartreuse hosta it's got mad contrast. Looks like a wonderful place to visit

    What a beautiful garden. The fruits of your labor are so evident. So sorry about the Hosta, but bet the deer isn't.

    So beautiful. I'm so jealous as my 'garden' is more like a 'spot'. I've always wanted a big garden but just don't have the time to take care of it.

    You are definitely one with a green thumb. And a gift for architecture as well! I LOVE your garden and all those flowers/plants - so beautiful.

    I am totally overwhelmed at your garden and the incredible changes to your home. I have a black thumb but sure do appreciate others' talents and yours is formidable!

    So COOL! I wish I had a green thumb, or an inkling of desire to spend so much time digging in the dirt. Alas, all I have is a faint glimmer of wanting to want that without any real pull to do it. I appreciate you sharing it with us though!
