Great Time in the Garden and a Great Stuff Giveaway!


I absolutely love summer and working in the yard.

 
 We built this pond four summers ago.  The fish are getting huge and the plants are thriving.
 
Several birds are making their homes in my birdhouses.
 
There are three different birds checking out this house.  It looks like the one on the bottom right has already moved in!
 
 
 

There are several babies in this house.  The parent sitting here is very, very attentive and goes crazy if anything or anyone gets close.
 





I found this ladder last year for $2.  We built the flower boxes and added drippers for water.  The daylilies and coneflowers are some of my favorites.  The rose of Sharon to the right of the ladder hasn't started blooming yet.
 
 
What are your favorite flowers?
 
 
Now on to the giveaway!

  3. Good Afternoon Pam, I really love your pond, to watch the fish swimming and to listen to the trickle of the water must be very soothing.
    How marvellous to have so many birds living in your birdhouse and the hours of fun you must get from seeing the birds grow and learning to fly.
    I love gardening and there are many flowers I love, but I think without doubt, my favourite is the rose. There is nothing like walking into the garden, in the evening, to find the air filled with heady perfume coming from the roses.... just lovely.
    Best Wishes to you,
    Daphne

  9. Hi, Pam.
    I'm new to following a blog, but I saw your ladder with bird houses and flower containers and fell in love! So, now I am a fan, lol.
    I would use the Gaps and Cracks on the cracks left in my foundation by a tornado that hit in 2006...but I think I would like to try it on some of my favorite decorated flower pots, too. The Work Wipes? I don't know about you, but I can really get grimy working in my yard and garden area...so I would put those to good use on me! Of course, the Pest Block would come in handy, too. I live on a mountaintop in the middle of the Mark Twain National forest...so am surrounded by nature, at her best and at her worse! Lots of pests, which may be great for the garden, but not so good in my thick hair and in my eyes and crawling all over me! Yep, I would certainly use that.
    I really love what I see on your site, so far...and am glad I found it. Thank you for all that you so and share.

  11. Hi Pam~
    Beautiful garden I must say, one of the prettiest I think I have ever seen. Your ladder is to die for! I would use all three of these products in trying to keep bees and wasps nests at bay. Plus,I too have a leaky faucet outside and the wipes I would use on myself as I get pretty dirty working in my garden. Thank you so much for your give a way

  14. That ladder with the birdhouses and planters is something I've always wanted to do...
    years ago..I had some ladders perfect for this type project, but the ravages of time and carpenter ants, yeah, ...they ate my ladders!
    Pretty cone flowers.

  16. My favorite time of the year is summer. I have bucket gardens on my deck and a birdhouse right next to it. I sit quietly and watch the flowers grow, the bees buzz and the birds fly. A pond would be amazing!

  18. Your garden is so lovely. I had to smile when I saw the purple coneflowers. They are one of my favorite flowers.
