Some Garden Stuff and Decorating The Back Of The House

Hello Sweeties, I hope you all have been enjoying the beginning of summer so far. 
I have been playing in the back yard a bit this weekend. 





Here is my potting bench. Last summer we used it as a 
serving station. I might have to do that again this year. 






And here is Willie stuck again....seriously I don't know how these guys make it in the wild.....
Sometimes he gets stuck somewhere and instead of just shifting into rear gear, 
he will try for an hour to go forward...DUHHHH

What I really worked on a bit is the back of our house...It's all shade back there and I haven't figured out what to plant there yet, So for now I just placed a long rustic bench there to make it not seem so naked. 






Meanwhile guard bunny was watching !!!! 

That's all loves, I hope you had a wonderful Fathers Day!!!! MUAHHHH

  5. I would recommend planting hosta beside your house. they love shade and have such beautiful leaves. They come back every year too. that's funny about your turtle. I didn't know that they wouldn't reverse themselves. LOL!

  8. Looks great Christine! I love the bench idea...maybe some hostas or Astillbe's would work back there, they both thrive in the shade

  12. Christine, I never realized how much I have in common with a turtle. Love the bench as a solution to a barren feeling spot. Temp or permanent it looks great. The guard bunny looks happy to be out and about.

  19. You have some very cute accents. The metal ring with the lantern is so cute. lovemthe potting bench- you could even use it for an outdoor party for beverages! The turtle has a one track mind! My daughter has a bunny. She brings him with her when she comes home for visits and we set him up with his own play area.
