I had shared these planters with my Insta-friends but I need to show you guys how to do this because they are SO beautiful! They are the perfect amount of fall and look great with mums. And if your planter has a little texture to them, it really pops. The fun part is that they […]
I’d love to find the original source for this idea, but I can’t seem to locate it, even after a bit of time searching around. If anyone knows where this comes from, please pass it along. I think these sheep are absolutely adorable and would look great amid almost any garden. I suppose if you […]

Finally — I know I use that word a lot — I was finally able to locate and install a new, steel frame, obelisk so the clytostoma vine wasn’t flopping over itself with nothing to climb on. It used to cover a trellis that ran along my office windows, but that came down in disrepair […]
We have wanted to replace the broken-down wooden fence on our north property line almost since we moved in 20 years ago, but for a variety of reasons we were never able to make it happen. This week though a young couple became our new neighbors and a new fence was one of the first […]
