Garden Tour

Last May, Michelle and I visited some beautiful gardens near her home. I am hoping we do it again this year, we had so much fun roaming around from garden to garden, ooohing and aaahing...

I thought I would look through the pictures since I'm working on getting my garden pretty again after the freeze we had. Mine will not even come close to the lushness found in the southern California gardens.

but I can certainly try

~sigh~

I had to take a closer look at the vine below

it was a geranium vine... are you kidding me???

a geranium can do that?

I had have garden envy

then we stumbled into this sweet cottage

so charming
I wanted to sit and have tea

we found some wonderful ideas to take back to our own gardens like this heart among the pavers♥

and the handprint pavers♥

found a lazy lounging frog

and fairy gardens♥ which got me to start my own.

we had tons of fun on this tour and left with lots of garden envy.

But then we went home and I think Michelle's little garden is just as pretty.

 but that's California gardening for you

 and having this gardener makes it even better♥♥
