The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in my yard.

 My husband has my yard set up where there are different area's. We have interesting area's and some that are still to be worked on.  The area where the bad is someday in his mind will be a waterfall and seating area. He has been training the big bushes to make an arbor where you can walk through. I call it the road to nowhere.

 

 

The Good.....

 Live forever in bloom

 Even though he has been here so long he is part of the family.

I hope you enjoyed some of the summer pictures from my yard.

Amazing photos! But... I am deleting it from Rainbow Connections, as it is not cherry red colored! Thanks for your understanding! (We have a color of the week each week, and only accept photos and posts that pertain to that color.)

It would be perfect for my other group - Beauty in Your Own Backyard!

The past two places I've lived didn't even have a yard, so I haven't had to worry. The apartment before those had a balcony we used to decorate with gargoyles on the railing and posts, garden boxes along the railings with flower boxes, flags tables and chairs...and we'd go all out with holiday themes when they rolled around.

Nice bunch of photos

Nice photo essay, Carol - I LOLed at that Gargoyle! It was like a surprise ending.

I was looking for the arbor -- Is it on the left behind the big tall weeds?
Carol B Aug 28, 2008, 2:58pm EDT
Yes Donna, It is also to the left of the hosta pictures. It is so weedy in there now that I couldn't get a good pic of the opening.

Very nice, looks like you have a great start. My husband gets both knees replaced in Dec. I'm hoping he can work in the back yard next sprin or summer.

Wonderful photos, you have a awesome yard!
Leah A. Sep 10, 2008, 10:52am EDT
The pathway is lovely, but I definitely like the Gargoyle the best! I want one for my garden now.
Pamela K. Sep 16, 2008, 1:45pm EDT
wow- your yard looks great. I am luck to have grass and a few potted plants. Some day I will have a nice yard.
