| Oh, thank you for posting the photos of your pond. What a masterful job you have done making everything blend together and look natural. The whole garden is just beautiful. Renee |
|
| That looks like a serene, calming garden. Love the "fat cat"too. |
|
| Beautiful flowers and beautiful kitty!! |
|
| Gorgeous garden, Boxo!!!! Stalker is dancing and prancing at the Sight of the Absolutely Dream Abraham D'Arby and Brandy is looking like a nice glass of sweet liqueur with all the raindrops! Ooo-ooo, looks like Lyda's about ready to explode with more color explosions even with its current prolif-ush deliciousness..... Urrrk, says Eluane and runs for her life with the sight of the Fat Cat..... Fat Cat is so lovely too, but out-of-respect for Little E, I better not say too many nice things about the Kitty, for I know that the Glowing Green Eye is akin to Little E encountering a Ghostbuster's Ghost, from the viewpoint of Little E's eyes haha! EG is a splendid sea of yellow, loooove it, Boxo! Hey, did you notice that your beautiful aerial shot of the Deck-to-Pond, the colors of the dusky pink and lavender flowers echoes your wonderful"chessboard" tiles? So coooool! Everything is a Feast for the Eyes! |
|
| Those are some great pics Boxo! Love the pond shot! :-) |
|
| You have a gorgeous garden with the most beautiful roses, but your kitty was the best part. I've never seen such long ear tufts. What a beauty! |
|
| Thank you all for your kind words :-) The pusspuss was a volunteer who came for the garden and stayed for the love. We just about lost her a month ago when some mean critter got ahold of her and ripped her up pretty good. Luckily I found her hunkered down under one of my daphnes where she probably wouldn't have made the night. We rushed her into emergency just in time. If you look close, you can see this whole side of her head and neck were shaved and are just now growing back. She stalks this compound like it was built for her. Until the attack, she was pretty much an outdoors cat, now she's not allowed out at night. My wife just adores her :-) Here's the shot I posted last year of her and honest Abe Darby as well as some shots I took today..........

| GORGEOUS WALL OF EASIES Boxo! The Stalker is thrilled to be FIRST IN THE LINEUP! bwahahaha!this time around and what a treat to have a Ginger Box of Candy Box-Oh! Chicago Peace is making my eyes crazy like a Jim Carrey cartoon character! Wow, wow, and wowza!!! Both AD and CP are my absolute FAVs in the Nordstrom Dept. haha! If only Little E could be in your Garden, Renee's or Ingrid's, I'd be having 50 posts of her on this Gallery! Poor Eluane! my ugly garden ruins all the photo-op opportunities! My individual roses can be pretty but the garden itself is oh-so-Dreadful...Wish I could magically fly over and transport Eluane for camera pics! |

| KG, You are such a peach !! Me thinks you only say that about your garden because you couldn't possibly take that many awesome shots of your divine canine and roses and have it be all that lumped up. But if you insist, you are welcome to click your heels together three times and have E bark three times and come West young woman ;-) If you make it the w/e of the 14th you can join 30 cackling hens in my garden for the nieces baby shower. I will have it ready but will not be within 50 miles till the coast is clear VBEG |
|
| Hahahaha, oh, Boxo, that is HILARIOUS! About the 30 cackling Women Hens!!!! Oooo, July 14th! I start my new job July 9th, and I don't want to forget that date and will have to highlight by my Blackberry, because babies are indeed milestones, and I at least want to send some good wishes your way! If I'm lucky I might be able to save up one good rose for your niece. I have one Purple Beauty Bud in the works, so I'm hoping the Magic Gardenville Sea Tea will protect that bud from our blasting Kansas heat. I'm sure you will have an ohhhh, so splendid recap of everyone celebrating in the Fabulous Garden. In fact, I suspect the Garden will be vying for everyone's attention, so unfotunately everyone will drag you kickin' and hollerin' as Tripod Man! You WON'T BE ABLE TO ESCAPE that easy.... If you do Escape with Your Sanity intact, hee-hee, be sure to do the Pre-Bouquets and Sneak Away while you have the chance. Sitting through women's shindigs is about as agonizing as accompanying a woman shopping! I am not the typical female so I can really identify what you poor Menfolk have to endure. I shop like a Shark, in for the kill in 5 minutes, then out just as fast!! Can spot out a beautiful on-sale outfit, know in a split-second just looking at it on the rack, whether or not it will fit, and go for the immediate KILL, hehe. Just like with Your Gorgeous Absolute Magnificent Roses, bwahaha! Just as fast and just as deadly, hee-hee! James is very, very lucky that I'm not a Girly-Girl. He and I love the action-blasting movies with blood, guts, and Computer CG exploding across the screen. Who knows, there could have been Kill Bill playing in the backdrop with my Baby Shower had I been lucky enough to have babies! :P |
