For me the only thing in the movie that stuck out and didn't seem real was the garden. I truly thought it just looked too perfect. But after seeing your garden...I guess it is possible. And the Meryl Streep character did seem like enough of a perfectionist to have a garden like that. Thanks so much for showing that it could be real...now that movie really is perfect. <br /><br />Alec Baldwin is the sexiest man alive in my book. I didn't think he was sexy till he got fat. He is the cutest thing ever in the movie. If I had been Meryl Streep, I totally would have gone back to him...and then regretted it when he got another young girlfriend again...but he was adorable.Nita Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833196166679983378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-39493330323942154492010-05-04T20:31:24.469-07:002010-05-04T20:31:24.469-07:00Just beautiful, enjoy your posts very muchJust beautiful, enjoy your posts very muchDelindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-58577883781959412862010-05-04T19:55:29.281-07:002010-05-04T19:55:29.281-07:00Hi Steve; Sardines yes my friend, small children ...Hi Steve; Sardines yes my friend, small children and racoons love a good stinky can of sardines...go figure?<br />Angie, you can move in anytime but Millie likes to give lots of Dog kisses OK?<br />Hi Kelly, I have a big dog but she seems to keep out of the garden, she is more interested in the other animals.

Absolutely lovely.<br /><br />I didn't read about the garden debate, but I totally agree with you... it's a very doable garden and look- it just takes commitment! <br />Your grounds and garden are fabulous- kudos to you and your husband!!<br />joanfor the love of a househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151787635612708698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-8865432787005382902010-05-04T07:44:05.115-07:002010-05-04T07:44:05.115-07:00Hi Kelley,

I feel snowed under with my garden at the moment. It's coming into winter here and the weather is making it hard to get out in it and not only that I have other committments that are getting in the way, so I am not spending hardly any time in it at the moment. But I must remember, one section at a time!<br />Take care and as always thanks for sharing!<br />Janine<br />XXOO<br />Tasmania, AustraliaJanine Marshallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-75384822869785385012010-05-04T07:32:06.607-07:002010-05-04T07:32:06.607-07:00Hey Kelley- I haven't seen the movie yet.

My point, I t...Yes yes and more yes, I do agree. <br /><br />My point, I think is that a garden is a simple idea that is yours to realize. Mine or I should say ours is a pretty large project. <br /><br />We don't have a gardener and do it all on the weekends. It's a mess if we haven't been around for two weeks or more but we are OK with that. <br /><br />Not perfection by any stretch! And yes the beds are really pretty but you can get just as much from a smaller well tended space.<br /><br />So what I was trying to say is enjoy the process. Every garden looks good to me. I really like them all, honest!<br /><br />If you are without the critters you are even more lucky! But I do like Roger alot, he's a keeper.<br /><br /><br />xxookelleyKelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222598997403329166noreply@blogger.com
