We returned home from the garden store to find folks taking pictures of our front yard-in particular, our stone path and creeping thyme. Turns out there was a garden tour in our neighborhood-we were not a house on the tour but these nice ladies said we should be. They said our style was simple and classic-that made my day!! Especially since there really are some gorgeous properties in this area and we are really just getting started.
So, here is an update on what has taken place out back:
We love the difference of texture here-the light flowing yellow coreopsis moonbeam (the yellow guys) contrasting with the more defined salvia.
Then we added some sage in the side pots and some lavender in the little guy up front.
We added some flat stones to give this corner more texture and placed them out a bit further than necessary to house the pots in an effort to "pull" the space out and join the rest of the seating area.
Morgen stops to smell the flowers (and then drink the rain water accumulated in the saucer).
Our first visitors-butterflies! (...or moths)
It is hard to see but the two feathery marks mid left below are the guy above doing a little butterfly dance with his friend.
And because she is so cute...
