Friday Fence Post #5

My friend and I went antiquing, walking along the quaint streets of a little town. Of course I had my camera, and of course I was on the lookout for cool architecture and fences!

Such a pity this house is so run down. It would be gorgeous all fixed up.

Sometimes I have romantic notions of restoring an old house but I think I would get frustrated if I lived there during the renovations. I don't like things being out of place and undone. But I love the history of older homes and the wonderful details that are missing from most of today's homes.

Maybe one day someone will give this house the TLC it needs. Can't you just imagine sipping a mint julep on the porch on a warm summer day? :)

Friday Fence Post #4

There really is a fence under all that snow! This was my backyard a month ago. The snow was pretty but I'm glad it's gone...I'm so ready for spring to be here!

Come join our fence post fun!

Garden Resolutions

Each year in the dead of winter I get inspired to garden, and of course, I can't since it's too early! Sometimes I can barely wait and start seedlings, only to have them grow too leggy before I can get them transplanted into the garden. Then when I try to hold off and wait, I forget and start them too late. What's a gardener to do?!

Here are my garden resolutions for this coming season:

-To get my seedlings started at the right time
-Grow more veggies and herbs
-Try doing more container gardening (since my plants get fried come May when the temperatures soar into the 80s)
-Remember to water and fertilize

I didn't do any of that last year and I had a pretty sad looking garden. It was just too hot to spend much time in the garden. I'm hoping my trees I planted this fall grow quickly so I can have some much needed shade!

What hopes or resolutions for change do you have for your garden?
