Outdoor Wednesday April 29, 2009

My post for Outdoor Wednesday hosted by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer. Be sure and visit her to see all the wonderful posts!


Here is my yard as of mid-April! A Jazz Festival sponsored by my city was held across the street from my house on 4/18/09. My neighbor & I had almost 80 people over for a cook-out.

My Scotch Broom was in full bloom, with columbine to the left, Solomon's seal to the right and irises behind. I put zinnias and a gerbera daisy in the pot at my back steps.


My wisteria flowers were waning a bit, but I put annuals in my "circle."




Tomorrow, for Tablescape Thursday I will show you my table set up on my porch for the porch party portion of the Jazz Festival. :D Jewel

Outdoor Wednesday April flowers!

Outdoor Wednesday is sponsored by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer.


I took these pictures last Tuesday wanting to share them last week, but better late than never!
It's that time of year again - my wisteria arbor is in bloom!



The arbor is right on the property line between me and my next door neighbors. Originally my house and this house were occupied by mother and daughter and this is still the stairway between the two houses.
Here is a view from under the arbor, looking towards my garage.


Also, my columbine and Scotch broom are blooming.


Happy Outdoor Wednesday! :D Jewel

Outdoor Wednesday

Since the outdoors right now is a bit bleak, I thought I would share a bit of last Spring this Outdoor Wednesday, hosted by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer.

Here is our wisteria arbor in all its glory:






This has been blooming for many years and would qualify for historic status. It divides the line between my neighbors house and ours. It's "babies" try to invade my hedges and yard and require constant upkeep! So it's a Love/Hate relationship. But I have to admit when it's in bloom it is glorious and the scent is heavenly. If it just weren't so invasive!!!!

Happy Outdoor Wednesday! Thanks Susan!
