Lets take a walk in my parents back yard, shall we?

Here we are, another field trip. This one, however, is very near and dear to my heart.

Lets go to my parent house..just 2 blocks away from my house, and built by the same architects and builders, we have lots in common in the housing area- among other things.

Here is a photo facing the gorgeous fence my very own Dad built with his very artistic hands. A pergola, sits to the back of the property, which was again, built by dear old (not) dad.

all of the exterior decorating is done by the Diva herself, Mom. Together, they have worked to make the garden and yard a haven of green wonder.

The fountain was a mothers day gift many years ago, its developed an awesome patina over time and is one of my favorite pieces in the space. Its got 2 bowls for the fountain and it makes the most wonderful babbling sounds youve heard. The chickadees love to bathe here.

The reclaimed vintage brick is from downtown Aberdeens historic Weir theatre. Also laid by

Dad.

A long row of boxwood soldiers standing at attention. How wonderful.
Gigantic hostas getting ready for their dance in the dappled shade in a few months. When they are at full bloom they umbrella the boxwood, its fabulous texture, then- as well as now.
Vintage stand and green gazing ball are a focal point in this part of their garden.

Solomon seal are present, and way ahead of the game here. Mine are just getting started at home.the gorgeous texutes of the fern and the ever present lucky clover (we use to love to eat, in the younger days) Boxwood and moss.

Truey a haven for the 2 people on the top of my "Important" list.

A gorgeous serene place to kick off your shoes and relax.

I love to visit them, and this garden.

Nice place, no?
