ComeTake a Walk in My Yard





After a nice blogging break, and being outdoors in the beautiful Ga. weather, I am participating in Susan's Outdoor Wednesday. Please go visit her and the other outdoor blogs.












































































Here's a little stepping stone that I created using a broken blue and white plate to honor our Min. Schnauzer , Cindi (short for Cinderella).


Here's our little Cindi.
She passed away one year ago.

  10. I agree with the other comments, your place is beautiful! The roses especially!Are all these in bloom now, or are some of the pictures of previous year's bloom? If so, Georgia blooms way, way ahead of us in the Pacific Northwest!

  17. I am so glad I dropped by. Your roses are spectacular as are all your flowers. I love the green lushness of where you live. We live in the desert and it takes a lot of hard work and water to get beauty like you have.

    Loved my walk!

  23. You have a very pretty yard. I love your tribute to Cindi. My first Miniature Schnauzer's name was Sir Cinderfella. Cinder or Cindi's or Poodie he was a very nice dog. I do love those schnauzers. Your little Cindi was such a cutie! ~ Robyn

  30. Hi Rose...Your garden is Beautiful with a capital "B"...I like the idea you had to remember your little Cindy...she was a cutie. My little poodle Sassy died a year ago in April...I'll think of them as waiting side by side for us over the Rainbow Bridge. ;-) Bo

  39. Thanks for taking us through a walk in your garden. It is just beautiful. Don't you just love this time of the year when everything get growing and blooming. My peonies are in full bloom now and really for the first time since being planted a few years ago. I'm so proud of them:)

  40. Hi Rose, I don't know what happened to me! lol I thought I had completely lost my passion for blogging but once I started, I couldn't stop. I don't know how much longer this streak will run but I'm having fun while it does! I'm getting close to my 200th post so I have to keep it up for a while at least. My one year anniversary for blogging is coming up something this month, I need to look up the date so it doesn't pass me by.

  42. Rose, These pics of your outdoors are stunning! And, so sorry to hear you lost your Cindy a year ago...I know what it's like to lose a pet doggie after 13 long years for us. We have another little sheltie now, Abbie, on my sidebar. She is our source of joy, and lives up to her name, source of joy! ;) Your Rose Arbor is so striking, someday I'd love to have one. I've missed you! ;) ~CC Catherine (Stop over to enter my Mother's Day giveaway! It will be open for entry till Mother's Day night at midnite, PDT ~Ciao
