{ garden planning }

It's a rainy and cold Sunday here,


but that doesn't stop me from dreaming


about the wonderful sunny days ahead.


I'm starting to plan out my garden projects


and while looking around


I found some fun things for the garden.


I thought I would share them with you...


just in case you are garden planning too.


I found this lovely arched cypress bridge.


I have a unsightly ditch in my back yard,


but I have future plans for that ditch that


involve some sort of bridge like this one,


some beautiful plantings and rock,


to turn the eye sore into a feature.


Whenever I get there I'll be sure to share.





I found these adorable little cattail bird feeders.


I can't resist these, and at some point


they will find a home in my backyard.






More adorable bird feeders,


this time in a cute acorn shape.


I can so see these hanging from


some of my trees, once they


become a little more mature.


Aren't they the cutest?





I just had to include this piece of awesomeness.


This is a mason bee house.


I am so attracted to the shape and texture


of this cool house.


Mason bee's are non stinging,


smaller than a honeybee,


and are amazing pollinators.


So this little house will help your garden grow.





The last of the lovelies is this pretty




One day I hope to have little paths


like this one above


running through my back yard,


and when I do, I could easily see


this little birdbath decorating my garden.


Ahhh, isn't garden planning so much fun.


I'll keep you posted on my garden projects


in the warm days to come,


but until then,


I'll keep on dreaming...



*peace & love*

{ dream house }



Here it is, my dream house and property,


and it's only one street away from me.


I can see it from my back yard.


Oh the torture...



This house is the actual original farmhouse


to the property that my entire neighborhood is built on.


It is also practically the only one with mature trees.


Seeing as how my house is built


on what was formerly a pasture or field.


I have none....not one mature tree.


Herein lies my envy.




Look at the lovely pond with it's own little dock,


the beautiful weeping willows,


river birches and braddford pear trees.


This property and home are truly idyllic.


The house is gorgeous with it's white painted brick,


huge sun rooms and screened porch.


I swear, one day this house will be mine.


If it ever comes up on the market and we strike it rich


between now and then that is.



Here is the front view,


it sits in a lovely cul de sac,


and in another month


when everything is in bloom


it will be difficult to see.


Another reason I love it so...


lots of trees, shrubs...and privacy.


I wonder how my neighbors would feel


if they new I was secretly stalking their home.


Maybe I should get in good with them


In case they ever do decide to move they'll


call me and let me have first dibs.


Until that day comes,


I'll just admire it


from my back door.



Happy Weekend

*peace & love*

Carrie
