Return to my Sisters Garden



I had an opportunity to visit my sister's garden again this week, my how everything had grown and filled out since my last visit a couple weeks ago.
Let's walk around and see it again.

This "Welcome" sign is at the top of the driveway before going up the steps to the upper part of her yard.


Let's go up the steps!


We find the Japanese Maples so full of beautiful colored leaves!



Petunia's and Dusty Miller.






Looking up from her covered patio if you look to the right of the Japanese Maple you can see a pretty yellow native azalea.






The swing is a quiet serene place to sit and hear the birds singing as the squirrels scamper along  the grass.






Just behind the swinging frog, you can see a yellow "Lady banks rose climbing upwards.






Have a Beautiful and Blessed Day!

Good Morning, Sylvia. She has such a pretty place to sit and enjoy nature. I love the Japanese maples and the yellow rose especially. We sold our swing years ago and I still miss it! We had overnight rain and things are looking so green and fresh this a.m.
