In the garden…..

A robin made her nest in the weeping pussy willow tree a few weeks ago.

She laid three eggs….two hatched on the same day and the other the next day.

The little birdies are getting so big that they all barely fit in the nest. I’m sure they will be flying away very soon. It has been so much fun watching them grow…..

We lost one of our little trees this spring to the frost. The other little one that we planted at the same time is doing really well though.

We have two of these little topiary trees, one on each side of the front door. Looks like they could use a little trimming….

So, that’s a snippet of our garden these days!

Have a great week my friends!!!!

TGIF!!!

This week really flew by! Apparently my husband lost track of time too because he put the waste container out for pick up a day early. Or maybe he was just really ready for the weekend and trying to hurry things along?

As a little girl I always wanted a swing like this……..

Around the Koi pond…….

Things are really blooming around the Koi pond!

Our baby Koi are getting sooooo BIG too!

I fed the fish hoping I would get some really good shots of them while they were eating.

However they were lightning fast…..and all I got were big ole blurs!

TGIF!!!!

Things are so lush and green around here from all the rain lately.

My rose bushes have never looked more beautiful…..the fragrance is just amazing!!!!!!

Since my roses have grown so much they will need some pruning.

I found this article to be really helpful.

A little inspiration to start your weekend off right:

Vintage garden markers…….

 

-------

Over the weekend my husband and I had to drop something off for his work at a job site in Lawrence. Afterwards we stopped off at a few places before heading home. One place we stopped was a little antique shop in Ottawa where I found these cute little vintage galvanized garden markers.

Originally I had intended to use them outside……However once I laid them on the coffee table with my herbarium book I loved them paired with the book so much that I left them.

I love the hand painted numbers….each tag was individually cut so they are slightly different in size.

While at the little shop we went outside to the garden area where this cute little bunny was sitting. I figured he would hop away when he saw is but instead he laid down and watched us as we browsed.

I found a little goodie in the garden section that I will share with you later.

Joining the party at:

 Savvy Southern Style 

Hope to see you there!

The weather here this

week has been absolutely beautiful!!!!

I only wish we could have one week like this a month.

It would sure make the scorching

summer temperatures a lot more tolerable.

Little clay flower pots…….

I seem to be oddly drawn to vintage and antique

flowers pots and other gardening items.

I’m not really sure when I started the collection……

it just seemed to appear one day?!?!

All sorts of sizes, shapes, and condition……..I love it all!!!!!

My latest find were these cute

little terra cotta pots tied together with twine.

They found a spot on the French baker’s

rack in the hallway off the kitchen.

Have a great weekend my friends!!!!

a` la prochaine…….
