Garden Perspective

Just dropping in to give you a garden perspective.
It has been a busy month so far with parties and visitors and.....work.


I do promise to get around for a visit real soon.
I wanted to share with you our latest addition to the garden.
It is a work in progress.... needs to be painted.
I think I might stain the bottom part brown.


The wood for the table was part of an old staircase that was not being used.
I need a few more dumps of pea gravel to be satisfied with the hard surface that I have chosen for this area.

But so far if the weather cooperates
we are hoping to enjoy some nice garden dinners out in this part of the yard.

Here's hoping......

  2. Your backyard is enchanting and I loooove the long wood table. I think I would just leave it as is and let it weather into a rustic driftwood. Enjoy.

  5. Why does it take WAY more stone than we think it will to cover an area? I'm still terracing the hill down from my patio and I think I will be hauling stone forever! It looks like a great area to entertain all your summer visitors.

  6. VERY pretty, Donna. We're presently designing our backyard because it's such a mess, and we found a pea gravel product that isn't round…it's put through a grinder, so it actually "compacts" and gets really, really hard, almost like a paved surface. Have you seen it? MUCH easier to walk on….

  7. I love this table and it's exactly what I'd like to have for our new deck. It looks wonderful sitting there on the pea gravel. Very European. :) We enjoyed lunch and supper on our new deck today. It's almost finished. Have a great day. Pam

  9. This is truly gorgeous Donna - WOW.
    Now tell me are you being eaten alive with mosquitoes yet? Because I am. Badly.
    Marigolds everywhere - citrus candles - coils - and they still attack me !

  12. What a lovely space to entertain, and I love the massive table, I think it would practically fill my whole garden !
    I'm wondering if you've managed to balance your spiritual energy, because all joking aside, your garden looks beautifully tranquil and serene.
