Memorial Day Weekend!

I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend.
I know we did. It was a lot of hours on the road.
We had a 7 1/2 hour trip each way.
We left Saturday morning at 5 am.
We crammed so much into a day
and a half that's it's unreal.
But, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
We had so much fun with family and friends.
We got back home yesterday.
We were so tired.
Come and Sit A Spell!
This is a very cozy space to relax and visit!
Here's one of her babies.
I love that Red Japanese Maple.
The millionbells will soon be
sprawling all over this wheelborrow.
Hosta's, I love the texture of the leaves.
Beautiful iris in bloom.

Here's my sis waving to you!

Sisters are different flowers from the same garden.

I love this little section of the garden.
A honeysuckle vine. ( I believe)
My sis has several kitty's in the garden.
A friend of my sis made this metal yard art.
I love ferns!

A sister is a
forever friend.

Looks like you and your sister have the love of gardening in common. Her yard and deck are very pretty. :)

Terrie,
Thanks for showing a little of my garden. That is honeysuckle on the fence. I am so far behind outside it's not even funny. It was
great seeing you guys this weekend!
Love ya!

Terrie,
You certainly had a whirlwind trip, but it sounds like a fun one. I really like the covered sitting area you created on your deck. I have been brainstorming for a way to create a bit more privacy from my side neighbor’s and seeing yours has given me some ideas. It could be built separate from the rest of the deck which I like, because it is something that could be a DIY project. I will show it to hubby. Have a good one. ~Cathy~

It sounds like you had a wonderful time, Terrie! Good for you. I love your sister's garden. Your parents must have had green thumbs because you both have inherited the gene! And her dog is beautiful also!

Sister's are wonderful, aren't they?

Get some rest! :-)

Those times with family are so sweet even though they are short times, they are so worth it! Your sister must share the love of flowers with you. I love her little tranquil place on the deck. Everyone needs a place like that.

Your sister's deck is lovely as is her yard. You know I would love the cats, I have some in my yard to, besides the black one that walks around that is.
Wow! That was a packed trip. I can see why you are tired.
