Here are a few shots of my back yard yesterday.  You will see one of my favorite words.  I am a person who loves words.  However, a picture says a thousand words.  Thanks for viewing this post!  Salud

You are being very prolific today!
Marianne R. Dec 14, 2008, 11:44pm EST
Cool stuff in your yard. I really love your funky garden angel.
Leah Christensen Dec 14, 2008, 11:51pm EST
That's a really neat shot.
Ruth MacGill Dec 15, 2008, 12:12am EST
The pictures of your yard are lovely! I love the garden angel watching over everything, but maybe the flamingo would be happier down on the bayou. It looks warmer and wetter up there than down here in the mountains overlooking the desert.
What is the Mississippi Mud?
Phyllis R. Dec 15, 2008, 12:30am EST
Love this Mariana....I love the cross and table/chair, -- my kind of stuff!!!!
Kimberly Ripley Dec 15, 2008, 12:44am EST
You have a wonderful yard, Mariana, and I do believe that everything in it suits you to a T!
Nancy 67 Dec 15, 2008, 1:13am EST
You have a very "California-esque" garden, Mariana! Very creative and cute!
Miz Lynn aka/BooBoo Dec 15, 2008, 1:18am EST
I'm jealous! My garden looks like a winter graveyard. My only consolation to this awesome garden is my highly anticipated, about to burst, amaryllis.
William Dotani Dec 15, 2008, 1:19am EST
The Pink Flamingo is super cool with your placement.
William Dotani Dec 15, 2008, 1:20am EST
Trust me, my garden looks worse than yours, Miz Lyn's or Martha Stewart's.
Alison H. Dec 15, 2008, 1:50am EST
What a fun garden! Thanks for sharing it.

You might enjoy

I liked the Quag Mire sign, LOL. Your garden is wonderful. Looks like a great place to just spend time. I'm curious about that key next to the cross, though?
Michael Harvey Dec 15, 2008, 2:18am EST
Mississippi Mud sounds interesting. You have to tell us the story of what comes in that bottle.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 15, 2008, 2:45am EST
Love the eclecticity of your garden, Sis.

If you and I got together it would be like heaven for both of us as my home is full of this type of stuff and I love it and I love WORDS! ;)
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 15, 2008, 2:45am EST
eclecticity ~ sorry.

I would know this was your yard even if your name wasn't on the article. Your vision is so much of your persona.

This is great.
Roy ☯ Hilbinger Dec 15, 2008, 9:14am EST
Heh, heh! And do you beat your feet in that Mississippi Mud?
Stacey *Mamasaid* D. Dec 15, 2008, 9:14am EST
What a great garden angel! I love my gardens. They're all wild and free with signs like "Garden of Weedin'" or "Mom's Garden". Your garden is wonderfully expressive and unique - thanks for sharing.
Marianne M. Dec 15, 2008, 9:36am EST
Wonderful collection, Mariana! It looks like the perfect spot to sit and chat or read or share a beverage!
Dorine H. Dec 15, 2008, 11:25am EST
A lemon tree! How wonderful!
Lucky Stars Dec 15, 2008, 11:42am EST
Your own garden of eden. Love it. I'd love to have a lemon or lime tree in my yard.
The cross and key are my favs. Did you make the cross?
Mariana T. Dec 15, 2008, 11:47am EST
Yall are so sweet and wonderful - actually, the poor garden is in a state of chaos right now so I just showed you a few things - there's lots going on there, trust me! I'll show yall another time though as it's raining here!!!

Thanks LUcky! (I'll get used to the name)

Thanks Dorine

Marianne M. thanks - well, it has its days -

Roy, MIssissippi Mud is a beer! (more later folks) Thanks to all. Salud

Now that is exactly the kind of a backyard that belongs in a novel.
Marian L Dec 15, 2008, 5:20pm EST
Very interesting shots. You have a great backyard.
Kathryn E. Dec 15, 2008, 6:08pm EST
You said BUsh! now wait, that was QUAGMIRE.
Priscilla P. Dec 15, 2008, 8:09pm EST
Quite delightful nd inviting with a charming sense of humor
Sue * Dec 15, 2008, 8:59pm EST
Somehow I'm not a bit surprised to see all your yard "things." I have a pink flamingo as well, although mine only peeks out once in a while!
I love the flamingo! I suggested to Kevin that we get a flock of them and have them running through the ferns on the back edge of our property, but he's not going for it.
Mariana T. Dec 15, 2008, 9:53pm EST
Thank you all - no one mentioned my giant English Ivy vine! Oh I have loads of flamingos but some lost their legs! Salud
Vicky Duggins Dec 16, 2008, 12:16am EST
I love your place! Or I should say, places. The one in Nevada is pretty darn snazzy, too.
William M. Dec 16, 2008, 1:33pm EST
Excellent photos. Love your back yard.
mona d. Dec 16, 2008, 3:44pm EST
save me a seat, miz boo. i'd like to stop by and sit a spell...
Mariana T. Dec 17, 2008, 1:42pm EST
Ohhh wow love that Tinch!!! You are so talented!!!! Thank you William M. Ok Mona - hey it's a mess right now but in the spring I think it will be lovely again - fixing to go and plant some merlitons - I don't know what you call them in English - Chayote? Salud
Mariana T. Dec 17, 2008, 1:42pm EST
Ina, Sue*, Priscilla - always good to see yall. Salud
M & M. Dec 17, 2008, 2:11pm EST
I love your backyard, thank you for the photo's so we could see it.
Judy G. Dec 18, 2008, 2:18am EST
That cross is beautiful....is that copper? I like its irregular shape - very free.
Blessings!
Krista P. Dec 18, 2008, 7:02pm EST
That's one cute quagmire! I'll take one of those seats Ms M mentioned.
