I thought I'd share a few pretties today. The first being that pretty little "J" that you notice up there by the http://.
It's called a blog icon or fav icon. It replaces the big orange square B that's next to almost every blog address. It makes my blog name stand out and be unique. I love it! Cara, the RockSTARRMom, designed it for me. Thank you Cara! She can personalize your blogicon too. Just go visit her at Your Blogicon and tell her I sent you. She'll create something wonderful for your blog and give you step-by-step instructions on how to install it. She's such a sweetie!
As you know I've been a little light on my posting lately which has given me time to catch up on things. I've been doing some yard work (finally!). Of course there's still more to do. Lots of flowers to plant and the weeding is never done. But I wanted to share a few photos of my yard.
The roses look spectacular this year. My clematis has never had so many blooms. I'm amazed that everything has managed to thrive even with my neglect. I learned a lesson from my flower beds. They look great because I planted plenty of perennials. I applied that lesson to my huge flower pots and planted perennials in them this year. There's beautiful hostas in the pots under the trees. And fragrant lavender in the pots out back. With perinnials in my pots I can enjoy their beauty this year and for years to come.

I could just here and look at your beautiful yard for hours.
Yeah, me too Gwen! Joy, it is so beautiful! While you are being the back up for my out door reception in Aug....lol, maybe we could just skip the back up plan, and we could just have it in your yard instead! Beautiful yard ! Pretty pretty pretty! ♥ Great inspriration for me today!
Your gardens are beautiful! I can only dream...I put out some hanging baskets of impatiens and they aren't doing so well.
They do look beautiful! Your garden is blooming earlier than here in NS; but any day now (if the sun ever shines again!!), there'll be lots of blooms in mine. Thank you.
Your yard is FABULOUS!!!! Everything is just beautiful....you certainly have a green thumb even if you say you have neglected it.
Gorgeous gardens! Love your red chairs!!

Your yard and garden are stunning! I know how much work goes into keeping up a garden... you must be out in yours all the time! I love the door by your clematis!!

Oh, your roses are magnificant!
Your roses and clematis are spectacular. I'm learning about perennials since we left So Cal and they really do make things easier...it is wonderful to see them coming up without me having to spend a fortune each year for color.
Your Yard Is Gorgeous!
