Yard Plans...Dreams...

Future garden? With hard work... maybe!
Ahh...I wish...
Beautiful.

Can't wait to put up a hummingbird feeder and watch these little amazing birds.

What the backyard really looks like.
Below: Dream for the front yard.
Ahh...so lovely.
Those bushes were planted in a really strange place right in front of the patio. I think they are Crepe Myrtles. Sid plans to move them to the side of the house in a row. We will see if they will move without dying. Wish we could tile the back porch, put in an outside fireplace with lots of plants around. Not happening of course except maybe for the plants. Help HGTV! For free please dedo my back porch and yard?!
Front flower beds. Lots of work ahead. Just dreaming right now. :) Blessings.

My mother has found a lot of yard things, like outdoor fireplaces etc., at yard sales. Maybe you could have some luck with that.

Cousin Amy, WOW! I love your BLOG!
I nominate you to be the GIBSON REUNION PUBLICIST. Your blog site is amazing. I started working on one for the Gibson Family reunion to keep everyone posted on various plans etc. But, it is slowly coming along. Tom and I were both enjoying yours and he agrees with me, that yours is remarkable! We love the music and the nice scrapbooking designed backdrop. Now, if you could just come out to California and teach me how to do that. ha!
I'm using wordpress.com blog site. Still trying to figure it out.
If you have any helpful hints please email them my way. I could use your expertise.
Love to you, and great seeing your blog and all the great pics.

p.s.I'm also looking forward to planting flowers and spring garden. Everything is dreary looking in my yard right now. I couldn't resist buying a couple of flats of violas today. But now I hear its going to rain tomorrow.
Also, it was nice seeing your parents when they were out. :)
