Cheerful garage door!

Found this adorable service door on a garage while on a recent garden tour (of course)!  Couldn't help but smile and take a picture!

Color scheme for your home and garden...

On a recent garden tour we saw this lovely home and garden with the same color scheme that was so cheerful and welcoming!  How fun to discover the homeowner was a visit with a childhood neighbor!  

Hammered Bronze.......

And then I found a can of  "Hammered Bronze" spray paint!  I had purchased a metal patio set at my neighbor's 'Moving Sale' and it needed freshening up.   WOW!  It is absolutely beautiful!  I can't wait to show it to her!  My $25 purchase is now priceless!

Bronze, the new look in yard art!

My weathered metal yard art became a bit more rusty looking than I liked.  Thanks to Bonnie  for sharing  that she had seen some "Bronze" spray paint used for adding a new touch to yard art!  Love it!  Still subtle but classy looking among those hostas!

Painted Lady....

The Painted Lady Butterflies are flitting all over blossoms right now!

This was taken today while we were deadheading roses at the Rose Garden our garden club plants and maintains at our local college Horticulture Department Gardens!

Miniature Fairy Gardens

This year I expanded to making smaller fairy gardens, which turned out to be lots of fun!

Not only are they charming, they tuck here and there so easily!

 

Flower arranging by a team!

What fun, we had a new activity at our garden club's annual Plant Swap this year! 

They set up 7 teams to make 7 floral arrangements!  It was a great "mixer" and provided some nice door prizes!

Gardeners are great cooks so our pot luck supper was awesome and the swap provided some new plants to add to our garden beds!   Our theme this year was "Color My World" and there was color abundant among us!
