Fall Front Porch

Fall Decor 2019

It's Fall tour time! A classic black and white color scheme and mixing in my signature favorite color of purple is truly relaxing this time of year. It signifies that a hot season filled with weeds, sweating and having to shave my legs is coming to a close. 

How to use plants for privacy

How to use plants or trees for privacy

Hi friends! I was going to name this post "What to do when you're neighbor is a big jerk" but Google says only 67 million people search for articles like that.

This is the second home on the Lake County Indiana Master Garden Walk that I got to tour and it was the one that stands out the most to me. Take a tour with me and hopefully the attention to color, detail and texture will come across the camera lens as it did in person.

Simple & Swaying - A Southern Porch in Yankee Territory

Hot and steamy would describe the weather here in Indiana on the porch. Hot like Florida, the southern state I used to call Home. So I am bringing southern flair to this yankee state, whether they like it or not. To match the southern heat they're giving me.

June Garden Tour

I have spent almost every free minute in the flower beds for the past 2 months and it has given me such a perspective on how varying color and texture really matter in the garden.

So, I'm hoping these pictures will help and also show you some of the progress I have made this season so far.
