Spring Shade Garden 2015

 

Hello! Oh my gosh, it feels like it has been forever since I've had the time to write.  It has been a whirlwind two weeks. We celebrated Mother's Day a week early by spending a day working in the yard at my mom and dad's home because I had to fly to Atlanta for business on the "real" Mother's Day.

A Quick Hello, More Farmhouse "Parts" and a French "Lady"
