Hydrangeas

I LOVE Hydrangeas and was so happy to have a nice mature bush in the front corner of the yard

here at the rental house.

We have enjoyed cutting the blooms and placing them around the house. Doesn't the house just feel so much more alive with fresh flowers scattered about?

The color variations are so beautiful!

So what is your favorite flower?

Garden Inspiration

I thought I would show some inspiration pictures of things outside that I want to incorporate in the beautification of the house.

I would love to add a small wooden porch on the side of Scot's garage/shed.

I love this entry. I want our side porch (which will be used a lot!) to look this gorgeous!

I love this white fence. This is definitely at the top of my wish list for the future!

and this porch...so summery (and romantic!)

Isn't this outside sink cool???  Great for the kids to be able to use without having to come inside to clean up

and also a great potting sink!

New Flower Bed

We borrowed a tiller this weekend and was able to get started on some flower beds. I want to be able to transplant out at the land some of my flowers in our yard now. Of course, I had to get a bed prepared first.

It was not an easy task. I worked the tiller some too - it is loud and hard to hang on to, if you are not careful!


Scot did a super job along with my other sweet helpers!




I hope to get started planting this week! I just can't wait...and neither can the kids!
