Take a Walk With Me

 
     I thought I would take you on a walk around my yard today. I want to show you my little desert garden. My husband made me a very shabby box from old wood and he added a little worn looking paint. We mixed a little sand in with some potting soil and topped it with rocks found in the fish section of Walmart. I love succulents this year, so I found some interesting ones at an area nursery and added them to my garden. They said I only needed to water this twice a month...maybe I won't kill it!

 
Some people put fairies in their gardens, but mine seem to need a gnome.

 
Who needed a place to live. See his rusty watering can?
 
 
 
Color has finally shown up at my house!

 
Just a hint of MICKEY!















 
I just love it when everything starts blooming.
 
 
     I even found a "blooming" rug for the deck. It really is just one color, but the house is shading part of it.
 
     Today I am joining:
Kim @ Savvy Southern Style for Wow Us Wednesdays
and Susan @ A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday.

    Your flowers are beautiful, love the "touch" of Mickey, we all need a little Disney now and again, and your rug is great. I am going to plant some succulents too, I think, in a pot. Hope the weather is holding up well over there, Sue. xo

    You have some beauties. I still need to go buy some and plant them. Maybe this weekend. I am so behind.

    I love your little succulent garden! I tried one last summer but didn't know what to do with it when it got colder...it did not like being inside!

    You have so many pretty flowers! Are those hibiscus trees? Love those. I hope to get to the nursery on Saturday.

    XO,

    Good Morning Sue Sweetie...
    Oh thank you so much for taking me on this wonderful stroll today. I had so much fun. I love your succulent garden. You will enjoy the low maintenance. I see a few familiar plants in there.

    You have so many colorful flowers. I love the variety of choices you planted. I could stroll along for hours. I can't thank you enough for sharing with me this morning.

    Love that new patio rug as well. Blue is one of my favorite colors, so I believe I would have chosen that one as well. Beautiful share Sue. Just beautiful.

    Have a glorious weekend. Many hugs, smiles and much love, Sherry
