I love your garden so lush and green not to be weird I love the way your bard and the green are just such a pretty contrast in color. I like your barn I always wanted a house that looks like a barn so my kids can say when people ask where you raised in a barn they can say yes silly I know but I think it is funny someday I will keep dreaming for now. very very pretty

have a lovely day

Sunshine,

Thanks...the barn just got some boards replaced, we haven't painted yet, waiting to do a few more repairs before the whole thing gets a new coat of red paint. We are talking about setting up a Studio in there for my quilting, etc. I too think the barn is a pretty backdrop to everything on our mini farm.

Hugs, Michelle

Diane,

Thanks!

I am not sure what the blue things are, it was a "Cottage Garden" 25cent seed pack from Walmart...does anyone else know??

Hugs, Michelle

I would say those are almost definitely bachelor's buttons. They are a fun flower because you can just throw the seeds down and up they come. Your garden is gorgeous and I enjoy your blog as well.

Your garden is just beautiful. I was so surprised to see how full it is already. I guess that's the difference between TN weather and WI weather. You must get a headstart.

Oh, Michelle, I just love your daylillies! They are my second favorite flower to the rose in a garden. From the Texas they will bloom from mid May until first frost. Don't forget to pull the bloom stalks. Once a set of blooms is done and dried, slide your hand down the stalk and pull the bloom stalk, tricks the plant into continous blooms.

Absolutely wonderful garden!!!!

Kim

Heaven is a day at the ranch with my Santa Gertrudis!
