I'm leaving for AZ tomorrow and will get a chance to investigate the yard at the new house. However, it was up to 118 degrees but they tell me they are having a cool front of 110 degrees! Ha! I'll be gone a week so you gals be good.

Enjoy your pool Dianne! Make big splash bombs so you won't have to water your garden. Hah! Dotsie, when we get our new fence, I'll post a picture. We ordered a white wrought iron fence. I love it when flowers grow out between the iron rods. I wish more of you would post pictures. It really isn't hard. I assume you all take digital photos. If you have that, then 90% of the work is already done. It would be great to see all your gardens. Just to give you a little idea…here is a 'before' picture: boo

HL that sound butifull both what you have and your dream.
i was once luckie enough before my split up to live in a 100 yard by 60 yard garden with mature eucaliptise tress at the bottom left hand corner was a hugh chestnut tree, i had a little seat their for the occasional day drea, and cigareat break, the wonderes thing was behing our house was a golf course and they had a stream, which ran the back of our garden, so sitting their under the protective brances of that great tree listening to the trickling of the stream was magical some days and hazie summer evenings. i miss that lifestyle for that tree.....pitie i don;t miss the relashionship but hay thats life lol....
i been so busie with trying to get the inside of the house presentible i not had a chances to get my hands in some dirt, god love lucien he onlie so far planted window boxes with me but still got the pride out of watching "his" flowers grow. A love of plants is one thing i hope i can pass onto him.
the land heer is small its more like a yard but maybee some rased decking and lowered flowerbeds at the edgies for big shrubes and minie treass. well at lest i can dream and read heer for some bits of inspirasion.

Dotsie, you make me want to be there, sounds so cozy. There must be something really special about the New England states. I have read so many books that take place in that part of the country, they make it sound so wonderful. And I have a sister-in-law that lives on the Eastern Shore and writes about the deer coming right up to her office window at home, having to stop and wait on foxes, deer or other critters to cross. She has sent some beautiful pics of Chesapeake Bay (where she and hubby sail) and other parts of Maryland. I have been up there, but it was a long time ago, 1980 I think? We went to Annapolis to visit a foster brother in the Naval Academy. It was early June, and I do remember it being beautiful there that time of year. I don't think I could take the winters though.
