Rolling along...singing a song...


...SIDE BY SIDE!

I would love you to ride along with me today as I share a few more garden pics.
Did you hop on? Okay, here we go!!




Sweet Woodruff and the bicycle just go together, don't you think?



Yes, I got carried away taking bicycle pics. lol


First stop is near the door on the back deck.
This is a very favorite clay pot filled with flowers.


Next, we will pull up along the side of the house to show you all the work I did today.

I am telling you, I worked and worked trying to clean up the flower beds
and getting out the weeds and I am plumb worn out!

I had a garage sale this past Saturday and several people wanted to buy my yard art including
this Welcome to my Garden sign that is painted on an old screen. I told them it was not for sale.

 I also dug up hosta and sold them.
I had a big wheelbarrow full and people actually asked me if I would dig up more! {I didn't}
They sold like hot cakes for 50 cents a clump. I am thinking about going into the hosta business.


We are back to near the door again! We are sure getting a workout. Someone didn't plan
this bicycle trip very well. ha!


We are now riding past some creeping phlox that just keep spreading every year.

 I LOVE this time of year because
the back deck area looks wonderful with all the spring blooms. By mid summer it gets rather
dreary looking though so I have to enjoy it while I can.


Along the way we pass the Sweet Woodruff again...

{Some also wanted to buy this sign!! NOPE...not for sale!}


...and an herb pot that I made this year.

I tried something new by creating a tiered pot assemblage with herbs in each pot.
I thought up this idea all on my own, but I am sure it has been done somewhere before.
 I really like how it turned out.



A person can never have enough Lemon Thyme and it smells wonderful as it wafts
through the air.


We are now riding down the path that is strewn with crab apple blossoms. It smells
wonderful!!!

This was hubby's idea so I obliged him. He saw this basket sitting on the deck {from my last
years stash...it was green moss initially} and hung it on the tree so I planted an impatiens plant in
 it and an ivy plant. Hope it does well. It should because it gets nice shade here.






I hope you enjoyed "rolling" through my gardens today on my white bicycle.  Our ride ended
way too soon, but I do hope that you enjoyed it and that you will visit again soon.

 I have so much more work to do and I am just getting too old and worn out to keep up with all this.
 I may have to yank it all someday and put in stone, but for now I will enjoy the beauty.

Paper Roses ~

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

I always feel like I should be doing something while watching TV so last night I decided to get out some tissue paper and try my hand at making paper roses. I just cut strips of tissue paper, gathered one edge and started rolling...I love how they turned out. I did get better the more I made. First I was trying to keep the tissue paper all straight on the edges and not let it bend, but the more I made I found if you let it curl over here and there like it wants to do then they look more realistic...
I truly hope you have a beautiful day....blessings ~
