Today I am participating in A Southern Daydreamer’s Outdoor Wednesday. It is my first time to join the fun.

Above is my front gate that leads to my courtyard and gazebo.

My backyard pond.

My rock garden, where I grow sedums, agaves, alyssums, and various herbs such as thymes.

Sculptures play a big part in the gardens. As do playful, whimsical yard art.

I truly love my gardening spots, and spend much of each day piddling amongst the plants. It is a constant work in progress.

  10. I love your entryway and your pond and your area of sedums-so much of interest. I can imagine how you like to potter around. I do too, but the rain has kept me indoors. I did work outside yesterday pulling out lots of overgrowns but it was very messy work.
