I'm one of those people who lives part-time in the country and part-time in the city...sounds great, right? Hmmm. Well, after having lived in cities for over 10 years, the country has become a real retreat, especially because this is where my husband lives. Anyway, here are some of the gems of the yard, many of which were here before I ever entered into the picture....lucky me.
Our Peonies this year were off da hook!
I've never been a fan of Roses, but there's something really special about these in their clumsy structure and unassuming flower.
This was a great year for the Spiderwort! I don't even remember seeing it there before? Wonderful contrast with the Lamb's Ear.
We have a lovely rocky area in one of our gardens where there are mounds of Sedum that resemble medium-pile chartreuse carpet. Great for contrasting with the rocks and setting off other things like this gorgeous little Iceplant!
So many gorgeous stone walls here!
Mr. Vernon contemplating the Hostas. I went HOSTA CRAZY this year. I hate buying these things because they're expensive and they do so well when separated and transplanted early season! I especially like remembering who gave me my Hostas. Some of these are from my Mom's and step-Dad's gardens.
That's Quiche seeking shade under our wild Roses.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sister, JEN! XXOO
