Or I have a recessive vampire gene or something. Hate the hot sun and love the shade. ;)<br /><br />There was lots of green in this post. I can't imagine that the tree guys will be able to get that tree and the root out without messing up her new driveway?? <br /><br />Looks like a wonderful day. Please take pictures of her bird bath. You may have already posted them I am so far behind reading blogs. ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-81895523463661701962012-08-19T15:37:07.735-05:002012-08-19T15:37:07.735-05:00a delightful outing with such fun photos...those m...a delightful outing with such fun photos...those magnets are a hoot! the no trespassing sign was funny too...loved all the plants and wind chimes!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657202600364368434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-57714142713731333812012-08-19T15:36:59.241-05:002012-08-19T15:36:59.241-05:00a delightful outing with such fun photos...those m...a delightful outing with such fun photos...those magnets are a hoot! the no trespassing sign was funny too...loved all the plants and wind chimes!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657202600364368434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-34741898781130211952012-08-19T07:40:47.234-05:002012-08-19T07:40:47.234-05:00I really liked the first photo with the sun rays o...I really liked the first photo with the sun rays on your garden! Well, at least you had some neat things to look at while Sally shopped for her tree. I especially liked the gazing balls which reminded me of hot air balloons for some reason. <br />Thanks for sharing your fun day!Craftymoose Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791008130982382299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-9808320255094415232012-08-18T21:13:38.765-05:002012-08-18T21:13:38.765-05:00oh and that is an extra nice photo of Sally and he...oh and that is an extra nice photo of Sally and her pretty smile with the flower painting in the background<br /><br />ok <br />enough out of me!<br />;)~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-72735909372582111962012-08-18T21:11:29.641-05:002012-08-18T21:11:29.641-05:00Your first 'sunray' photo really set the s...Your first 'sunray' photo really set the scene for your gloriously green post dear E<br /><br />I so enjoy visiting nurseries where everything looks so healthy and fresh almost screaming take me home ;)<br /><br />enjoyed your sense of humor along the way too and squealed when I saw the fairy garden ... what a fun surprise to see your kind mention of me and my Magpie's Nest ... <br />I do enjoy our little fairy garden just off our back porch ... maybe it's time for an update photo as it changes constantly...I added a little wire arch about a month ago<br /><br />have to mention we have not been as hot as you all altho it was a stinker of a hot July here in N VA...I notice leaves falling from various trees and even our grapevine is losing leaves early because of the heat and a bit of a drought <br /><br />your post made me want to visit some of our local nurseries AND you made me hungry for eggs and melons and more ... never knew that about tomatoes ;)<br /><br />Stay cool jewel!<br />oxo<br /><br />~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-56468653936565597382012-08-18T20:09:47.479-05:002012-08-18T20:09:47.479-05:00I use to love, love, love nurseries.

Then they grow and have to be divided, then you have more plants. It is sad to have to removed an established tree but sick trees can be very dangerous, too. I hope she finds something she really likes. It was fun to see such a large and lovely nursery across the country from me.Dandelion and Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542764006742929821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-57750670646163059202012-08-18T19:38:38.738-05:002012-08-18T19:38:38.738-05:00What a lovely nursery!

I fell in love with the glass balls that look like hot air balloons... not sure they would survive in the wind of a Scottish garden, all my wind chimes that hang in the trees have to be steel.<br />It's sad that Sally's tree is dying and ouch to the cost of sorting it!! :( I hope she isn't completely abandoning her broken bird bath... I had a broken garden ornament that shipped from South Africa and found some fabulous cement glue and then did some distress paint techniques on it... it has survived numerous winters without any problem!!voodoo vixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969587296959836879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-81732987590140318282012-08-18T17:33:26.125-05:002012-08-18T17:33:26.125-05:00Oh I'm sorry about the tree looking poorly now...Oh I'm sorry about the tree looking poorly now, and probable removal.Tree are such an amenity for our suburbs.

Nice place, but I don't like the sun either and would have sat with you in the shade. Glass wind chimes were quite nice. xoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
