Take The Time!!!

Everyday has been so filled...that I never seem to have the time to work on my blog. What I realized last night is that I just need to take the time to make it happen. We have been sosososo busy here....working in our yard, building things, creating new spaces, making a home for us. Our days have been filled and I'm finally ready to show you our house.....or parts of it....at least the outside projects that are near completion.

This is a picture of our garden!!! Things are growing, growing, growing. We're already eating lettuce! The blue structure is our neighbors....but we put up the fence.

Richard built this arbot for me at the bottom of our top yard. We have climbing hydrangeas beginning to grow on each side. Below this fence is our barn and another pasture/field. At the bottom of that is a beautiful little creek!!!

I love this side garden.... The previous owner had added a bunch of perennials...but of course I've added my own. So much color and texture.

One day I went out back and the fairies had visited and left Richard and I little baubles hanging from the trees. Those generous fairies. How could we be so blessed to have them in our garden? They intuitively know that I love sparkly things.

Our deck turned out beautiful. We spend so much time out there!!! We still need to put the bottom skirt on it....but we're so happy with how it turned out.

I have worked really hard on the front yard. There were already plants here....but they needed alot of care. It's a definate work in progress. I still don't feel like it is welcoming enough!!! Hmmmmmm........

The wall on the left in this photo is where the new studio is. It use to be a carport but we've walled it in and insulated it. It still needs alot of work. But we have finally been able to finish this entry porch (right near the front driveway). People walk through this to get to our front door which is up the step on the left. This area is covered and is cool, especially in the evening. Our plants love it!!! It will be wonderful to have this right outside my studio door!

Right near our front door I wanted the sound of "water". Richard built this little fountain. It's perfect! I swear the man can do anything!!

This last picture is taken from the front door. I wanted you to be able to see the studio entrance. Phew.....That is the end of the tour for now!!!

During this time I've also been working on art.......but I'll post those pics later on!!!! I hope you enjoy the pictures.
