Looking Up From the Side of My House

This is my favorite time of the year. This is my favorite place in my garden.. Lilies are my absolute favorite. This garden spot is dedicated to my Grandmother Bessie. She is where my dirty fingernails began!

Perhaps, You May Ask... Where is Dirty Fingernails?

We had a water pipe that had a slow leak in our kitchen and we have had a mess in our home the past week. I just got the computer back today, the water went into the living room where the computer resides. so the above is the mess before. The bottom three are the almost finished (should be tomorrow) floor.. It is laminate, hard woods will have to wait when the kids get older.

Garden Well Planned? Not at this House..

I was showing my co worker the front of my house, and he made a hilarious comment.. He tells me it "looks like some one threw up flowers all over my house".. You can look at it that way.. He is a very organized person, this isn't his style.. But, it is mine.. I don't plan my garden, I just put things where I think and feel they should go.. And guess what??? It works out, and works out well.. My garden is a hodge podge of this and that, with some yard decoration such as stepping stones and wind spinners. All carefully, well not so much, picked out and placed by my helpers.. Helpers include birds that drop seeds from my neighbors yard , as they are being chased off the property by the garden cats. Not just human helpers have created this garden.So my question to all of you is, what type of garden do you have??

This picture below, is just a small view of the front of the house.. Mainly the front porch.. Soon I will be painting the front wooden door a black gloss and put a brass kickplate on the bottom.. One of the many projects in my mind..
