Flowers on the Deck

Hello, I hope everyone is having a wonderful SPRING!

The weather has definitely been beautiful and I have been taking advantage of it, that's why I have been absent for the last week.

I thought I would share a special spot for Mr. M. and I.

I am not sure when it happened, but one day I pulled two deck chairs together and asked him to sit and help me decide where to put a couple of small trees that needed transplanting.

Ever since that day, this is where the chairs have sat and it seems that each night my husband and I sit down and share a drink, be it a refreshing ice tea or an ice cold beer.

BUT WE SIT!

We sit and look at the back yard, talking about what we are going to do the next day, or watch the children as they run around and play.

I came across a picture that I wanted to show you how far our house has come.

THIS!

This is what our home looked like as we were building it. 

Yep, NO landscaping at all. 

It was all farm fields before.

It is amazing when I see how much it has changed.

I know how much work was required because WE did it ALL ourselves!

This is some of the back yard.

Quite a transformation in 13 years.

It was not over night, that is for sure, and a majority of the flowers have only been done in the last 4 years.

Mr. M. would like to think that we are DONE!

Someone better tell him that he married a gardener and we garden for life.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Take the time to sit and enjoy yourselves.

I am sharing my gardens with Debra from Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday and  Cindy from My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday and Courtney from French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday.



Thanks for stopping by to visit.

Oh, remember those trees Mr. M. and I were trying to figure out where to move. 

Well, we still haven't, so I guess there will be more sitting this weekend!

ENJOY!
