A picture's worth a thousand words...

Sometimes it is just better to let the pictures do the talking.
Enjoy.
Momma finds a use for anything rustic in her gardens.  When we were younger, my brother used to tell people that she liked "rusty" things. :)

A place to sit and enjoy.

Momma likes to use different objects and materials to create borders around different areas of the garden.  These clay pots are a pretty alternative to just landscaping timbers or blocks.

Here you can see the clay pot-bordered section, as well as several sitting areas in the garden.  The blue and yellow glider is my favorite.
My brother and I on that favorite blue glider....our cat Dock had just had three little kittens and we were enjoying playing with them while she rested nearby.
 Everyone enjoys the garden...even the furry friends.  This is mouse.  He's a cat.  He likes to sleep wherever he can find a quiet place.
Purple coneflowers.
Wildflowers welcome!  This is one of the signs I have painted to help decorate the garden.  Everyone has put their own touches in!

Coleus, begonias, and petunias.

 Mom's gardening style has a cottage feel to it, where everything grows together and spills over the borders.  Sometimes it's fun to color outside the lines.
