The wisteria covered pergola in the back of the grape orchard
is one of our new "favorite spots"
The vintage gates are getting really rusty
and I had these great old shovel's which I hung
on the ends of the support beams
on the interior....just because
I hung these old painted
heart cut out shutters
hey...looks like a little bird found a nice spot for a nest!
I love adding old seating and benches
and a few roosters for good measure
the last of the apples are in bloom and the bees are still busy as ever
and the English rose garden started blooming
some of the blooms are so big that the
stems fall over from the weight
and in a few more weeks the lavender garden will start blooming and be ready for picking in June and July
so tomorrow I will need to put on my grubbies
and get some work done
and finally
a huge "thank you" to every one who purchased things for the new shop
and gave me the courage to do this!
have a sunny happy weekend
xxoo

Just a suggestion...cut your ribbons on the angle. Crisper look...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on opening your new shop! I love your lovely little blog and gasped when I saw the second rose picture...so beautiful. In CT we don't have anything like that blooming yet!
ReplyDeleteMuch Love, Sue
I adore a pergola! Yours with the shovel is wonderful. Hopefully one day I can add that to my garden.

I love your wisteria pergola and all the embellishments you have added, especially the shovels. Your roses are incredible. My purchases arrived from your shop yesterday and everything is beautiful. Best of luck with your new business.

wow wow wow - the pergola, the roosters, the roses, all of it! I love it and what a nice spot to take a few minutes in. Very Jealous - here in New England we are blooming early (lilacs, bleeding hearts & lilly-of-the-valley, etc) due to unusual early hot weather but now we are missing it staying inside because it turned cold and rainy! agh!
ReplyDeleteTantalizing little garden! Everything you touch turns to gold!
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely my kind of pergola style. Fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Kelley! Just catching up on my blogs this beautiful Sunday morning... I always am so happy to see that you have a recent post. I want to pin EVERYTHING as future inspiration. Crazy about the bean t-pee, the bird nesting in the gourd, the bee drinking from the apple blossom, the apricot rose & the Pergola. God has blessed you with some extraordinary talents and we are so lucky that you're sharing with us. Congratulations on your new business!!! Jenny from Palm Desert
ReplyDeleteLove the garden.
ReplyDeleteKelley,
ReplyDeleteWe had a wren family nest in a decorative bird house one year...it's so fun being up close and personal with nature!
