It is embarrassing!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Zoey! You're right - the fairy is under the river birch clump and the variegated hosta does add some much needed light there. Good eye! :) <BR/>I think we did good on the the deck (which is actually a porch!) - our house is OLD and the porch really looks like it belongs. The white railings are definitely part of the reason why.<BR/>It's nice to have you stop by!krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717829287358693407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300298790008212868.post-43779667961563657282007-05-31T15:09:00.000-05:002007-05-31T15:09:00.000-05:00Hi Kris,Your gardens are looking great.

The varigation seems to brinhg a bit of light to that area. It looks like it might be very shady.<BR/><BR/>Your fountain does look lovely with the blooming peony & roses around it. I see your deck has white railings which I also love. <BR/><BR/>I am still waiting for a spiderwort bloom. The thing I don't like about them is that by the time I get home from work, the flower has usually closed. My gardens are very informal, so they don't look too weedy to me.<BR/><BR/>Hope you enjoy the last evening of May.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300298790008212868.post-80628046454782974262007-05-31T12:34:00.000-05:002007-05-31T12:34:00.000-05:00Dogs like things to look lived in.

Here in Minnesota it only hurt early tulips and other bulbs, so guess we were lucky. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get some blooms - gardenias smell sooooo good!!krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717829287358693407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300298790008212868.post-90177144337627783942007-05-31T09:15:00.000-05:002007-05-31T09:15:00.000-05:00I love your garden.

Usually by this time, our bushes are full of buds, but we had a frost a little while ago that did a number on all of our plants and trees. I'm hoping for more gardenias - I just love walking by them and smelling them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300298790008212868.post-9656539586639705762007-05-31T00:05:00.000-05:002007-05-31T00:05:00.000-05:00Thanks trailhead - This blog would be full of dogg...Thanks trailhead - This blog would be full of doggie pix except getting good pix of black dogs is really beyond my skill level!!

How exciting that you have all those new kitchen cupboards - your kitchen project is going much faster than ours!!<BR/><BR/>Hi Karen - thanks! I love when you visit. I think half the fun of having gardens is sharing them with others - and this blog has been a very rewarding place to do that!<BR/><BR/>I have so many books on my reading list now, I'll never get through them all! I really enjoy seeing what others are reading - and the reviews people do are very helpful. (I need to work on my reviews a little - "I liked it" probably isn't all that helpful) :)krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717829287358693407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300298790008212868.post-28090286273722996362007-05-30T17:58:00.000-05:002007-05-30T17:58:00.000-05:00Kris, I love visiting your place.
