You know, it's funny. Years ago, when I subscribed to gobs of decorating magazines, I would get annoyed because they would fill the back half of the mag with gardening stuff. I was NOT a gardener back then. Now here I am with my very own decorating (mostly) blog, and I think I've posted more pics of gardens than I have of interiors. Go figure.
At any rate, this is my friend Jennifer's yard. The patio above was built by her husband probably 10 years ago. It's nestled under a stand of pine trees in her front yard. Totally cool, right? The patio below was built by Dwight (same guy who built my upper cabinets for me) a couple of years ago. In the distance you can sort of make out the long border of peonies. Jennifer planted them three years ago, and they are gorgeous. Once again I hope you'll forgive me for crappy cell phone quality pics. I was there on an impromtu visit!

Gorgeous, right? Tomorrow we're headed (me, Kelly, Jennifer) down to Cleremont to the annual plant sale. I think I'm going to look for some heirloom tomato plants. I've never grown tomatoes before. This is my year to start! Also, stay tuned for before/after pics of my garage doors....I've been painting out the little black scary squares! Yay!
