Garden Party

Hosted By:

Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality

Rhoda is throwing a Garden Party

today.. Where we get to show off

all of our outdoor pretties.

Click the picture below to join

in on the fun.

Welcome to Lazy Hollow Lane..

Here in Georgia it was a wonderful

82 degrees today.

As I sat out on my

front porch I was able to enjoy

the peaceful sounds of

birds chirping and watch as all of

God's glorious critters

played throughout my yard.

I even got a couple of pictures of

them just for you all today.

So pull up a chair..

kick up yo feet

and share with me

a nice cold glass

of

Cran-Grape Juice..

It's delicious!

Before I show you all

the beauty of my lil haven,

I thought I'd share with you

a few before shots.

Jeff hard at work

spreading pine straw.

I have a plant stand that holds

nine pots..

Last year when we had

a big hail and wind storm

all of my pots got broken.

To save money..

I decided to paint some of my old pots

along with the cheap plastic pots

that some of my new plants came in.

You'll see them later.

We fenced in our backyard

with chainlink..

and decided to use wooden pickets

for the front..

I hate the look of chainlink..

This is a much nicer view.

Took down some old bird feeders..

and repaired them.




Chose a spot for Ashley to use for a
FFA School Project.
This area was all covered with undergrowth
so we would have a little privacy.
When we added the chainlink we
cleared all of the undergrowth out
and prepared to plant.
Here is the before.





After:
Ashley's Lil Garden Project





My white and red roses are blooming.

I was told this is called

Mandevilla.. The lady

at Lowe's didn't know for sure

and I really didn't care I just loved

it and knew it'd be perfect to hide

the view of my A/C unit.

This is the after picture of the

birdfeeder.

I cleaned it all up..

removed all of the rust and

gave it a fresh new paint job.
It looks brand new again.

Filled and hung my hummingbird feeder..

So far I've only had 2 show up..

They usually come late in the

evening.

A lil treat I got today..

We have a nesting

black capped chickadee couple.

They built in one of our

bluebird boxes.

Mom peeking her head out.

Another visitor today...

A wild bunny munching

on some clover in our

front yard.

Better view of him.

He was a big'un.

Another front porch view.

All of our Hostas are

coming up nicely.

These continue around my

wrap-around front porch.

We started with 2 hosta plants about

5 years ago.. and each year

we split them up and add them

throughout the yard.

A lil fake foilage mixed with

some real coleus on the front porch.

The nine pot plant stand..

with the newly painted recycled pots.

Jumbo Marigolds..

Aren't they beautiful.

I love this shade of Coleus.

The painted pots turned out great huh.

My Favorite Flower...

Gerber Daisy!

These I bought for

Stellan .. since Orange is his color.

More coleus planted in coconut husk pot

doubling as a tiki torch holder.

My other favorite..

Pink Hybrid Geraniums.

Thank you for dropping by..

I certainly hope you enjoyed the view.

Thank You For Visiting

Have A Blessed Day,
