I could sit in your den and daydream out that window for hours. Makes me want to punch a hole in the side of my garage and plop myself down on a lawn chair, it's the only way I would be able to see the garden from my house.

How refreshing! Beautiful, thank you for sharing your piece of heaven.

That is just amazing! So beautiful. What is the weeping shrub 2nd from the bench in the last photo?

Your backyard looks like a parklike setting. Very beautiful and peaceful. What a great job you have done to make it so lovely, I just wish I had all your room, my yard is much smaller.

What a beautiful garden! It does look like a park :)

Granny,

You have a scrumptious yard/garden!
A cool and restful respite from the weary world.

We are having the same kind of weather this year here in Okie too. Isn't frequent rains and cooler weather just marvelous?

OMG,that's just beautiful,how did i miss this post last year?? Never mind i know.LOL

If that was a view from my window ,i'd have the biggest butt in the state from sitting and staring at it all day.LOL

Almost ditto to what Kathi said only mine would be the biggest butt in the provence. What a breathtaking view.

What a gorgeous and well-maintained yard. Is that a big pink rose? WOW!

I came here looking for a particular post I made early last April.

You cannot believe how amazed I am to find this post had moved up all this way.

It is a real ego boost to find people are still enjoying my garden photos from last spring.

For hosenemesis: No. That is not a rose. It is rhododendron 'Nova Zembla'. I don't believe they are suited to your climate---but, don't hold me to that, I could be very wrong.

Thanks for your interest, Liz

PS: I just noticed the date on the photos. They were taken 2009 not 2007. My fault. Battery in camera was replaced didn't change the date properly.

Thanks again.

what are the big pink bushes in the back and the whiteish bush to the far right? so charming!
