The view from my kitchen table. I looked out and thought the garden looked good today- for once! Snapped some photos.
Rainy day- get ready for pictures
Oh Kristi, will you adopt me?? I only want you for your pool and the brugs, but we can get past that right??? Gorgeous!! Does your pool have dark blue tile?
Yep, it has dark blue tile and a black bottom. I LOVE my pool. I use it every day. Did I mention it's heated, LOL?
Now, that is a beautiful picture. Wish I had a pool, but I don't think I could take care of it now. We have too many trees here, not to mention the birds and you know what they would do...........
What a beautiful yard Kristi!
Kristi, you are right . . your garden looks lovely and your pool is so nice. Would love to have one like yours and I prefer the dark colors like you.
Isn't that lovely!
Go ahead and rub it in, your pool looks wonderful!
I'd settle for just one glimpse of my yard without the though of gee, I need to move that, or I gotta Weed, or it would look nice if the grass were cut or there wasn't so much insect damage--just one nice glimpse... like yours(:
BTW--(off subject) Kristy, what kinda dog is Datdog????
Please tell me, it's so cute!
Kristi, so serene and beautiful. Nice work.
Gee, I don't know whether to be jealous or tie you up, stick you in a closet and move right in. LOL SO, how many bedrooms? I'll be travelling with a lot of cargo. ;)
That looks so relaxing and refreshing, jump right in! Beautiful pool and plants.
beautiful picture Kristi!!
If you ever get tired of your yard, please give it to me!
Wow, such a beautyfull garden. Where is your next airport, I will fly in and test your pool...:-)
Thank you for sharing that picture!!!
Thanks for all the kind comments. The yard still needs LOTS of work, but every now and again I can sit back and enjoy it.
The more the merrier- got four bedrooms and a full basement. Pool party at my house *grin*
Ludger, here is a shot of the front garden taken last month. This bed was put in this spring. Still has a long way to go to mature. I have about 10 brugs in this space.
Here is another angle. I should have some brugs in bloom tomorrow. Then I'll take a updated photo.
Absolutely gorgeous Kristi. Very very nice.
Kristi, that is just beautiful. You must work like a fool to keep all of this up and looking so beautiful. Do you hire out? I could sure use some help with this place.
Krisie, that is beautiful. When I hit the lottery I want you do me a place just like yours.
krisie--------darn tootin that is a nice yard --your hard work is evident. cheryl
You must do your yard work early in the morning...or do you do it quickly later in the wet heat of the day and then jump into the pool as fast as possible! LOL. Your front and back are just gorgeous.
Datdog, what a beautiful view from your window. It is just gorgeous.
Kristi, your gardens are beautiful.
Wow,
Kristie I love your garden. Please visit and make my yard looking like yours.
HL
My gardens look exactly like yours, but only at night when I'm fast asleep and dreaming!!
Kristie, your gardens are just gorgeous. The pool shot is beautiful, and must be so nice with the blue tile. You must spend most of your waking hours working in the garden. sure wish we would have a rainy day. Haven't had measurable rain since first of June. Had two weeks of temps between 95 and 104. Longest hot dry spell in local history. Largest wildfire in the nation not too far from me. Donna
Okay, what did my husband pay you all? LOL* As you all know the camera hides many faults. I've only been in the house for a year. I have SO much work I still need to do. I'm actually sitting back and watching things grow right now. Come fall, I'm ripping up and redoing a few of the beds. Bad planning on my part early spring. I'm always wondering when I'll learn to plan first before I plant!
Your gardens are all beautiful! I have a pool also, but no heater, I think I was in the pool 5 times this year, sorry I opened it, thinking about getting a pool heater. To much rain this year. I have a variegated brug, well 2 of them that I bought off of ebay, they only said variegated brug, so I don't know what I have. I guess I'll have to wait until next year for them to bloom to see what I have. I didn't know there were so many different kinds of Brugs, I'm knew to brugs and daturas, last year being the first year to grow them. Now I want them all LOL, don't know where I will put them, but if there's a will then theres a way. I guess I'll have to dig up my yard!! Cathy
You are joining a group that has that same philosphy....wantng all and turning their yards into brug nurseries..LOL
I'm like Kristi, but I DO plan first, have been doing this for 40+ years and still don't have it right! Something grows tall in front of something that needs sun. Sigh...
Guess I'll never learn.
I have a feeling Gloria that your yard is just as gorgeous as Kristi's!
