Talking My garden photos
I thought I'd share some of my garden photos too. We've been working on our garden for quite a few years and it's finally to the point where we have mostly perenials, much less work that way It's always a work in progress. My 15 yo has developed a love of gardening and is constantly coming up with more ideas (sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes it's not ) I'm going to add a few posts with pictures.

Here is the front of the house


a bit of a closer view


closeups of some of the flowers out in front

Thanks so much I got a new camera a couple of months ago and I'm really enjoying taking pictures with it. Now if I could just get my kids to hold still so I could get some good shots of them

Really beautiful!! Your photos are so inspiring because I have been feeling so down about how my yard looks and feeling so just defeated about it. Now I feel like I have the inspiration I need to do some more work on it!!
