So....I've Heard


Can't wait till we can plant something neat in that huge planter below!

The fence post caps are solar lights. Way cool!!

 We hope to some day put "real" bamboo in place of the "reed" but for now it will more than do!


OK, so to really appreciate the fence, you must be reminded of what once was...
See the lopped off arbor vitae on the side of the house? They were very old and had definitely seen better days.    

And now I will leave you with a glimpse of last night's splendor. Aaaah, we do love life here in the Love Shack!

Lovin' The Sunshine

Well, it is another stellar day here in beautiful Southern Oregon! While hubby is digging fence posts (he is putting a fence in where the ugly arbor vitaes were) I have been a busy bee. If you have never been to the Love Shack, it has a real "California" style entry. (One of the many reasons we fell in love with the house.) Along with the tiled entry steps, there are built in planters. I didn't want to put in bloomin' "cottage-y" plants, so we went with grasses.....perfect!


I bought a couple boxes of shells a while back at a yard sale. Just the right touch in the planters, don't you think?



OK, honey.....I'm all done with my project! Please pass the iced tea.......
