Outside of re-staining a table for my mom, which she wants to be a honey pine color, we're not doing too much for Memorial Day. Here's the table...Does this look like it should be "ipswich pine?" or does it look more like "special Walnut" that is on mahogany wood. hmmmm...


Outside of going to my sister's for a BBQ, which I have to post pics of the work they're doing in the new house, I've been doing just a little bit of planting. Most of my stuff is perennials, but I still do a bit every year. take a look!

This is my Orange Blossom bush, that came from a rooting of my sister's, which came from a rooting from my mom's bush that is now about 8 ft. high.


Here's my birdfeeder seen through the rose bush


The roses... Its a David Austin Rose called Graham Thomas. You see this kind a lot in English Gardens..
There are loads of roses.. the only problem is that the stems are too short to cut and put into a vase. They smell delicious, and look incredible. Apparently, they really are disease resistant.

Here's my herb garden. Only small. Basil, Chives, Oregano, Cilantro, Thyme (French and English) and Parsley


And my front porch flowers...
these are mums that will bloom in the autumn


My hanging basket, that was supposed to go to my mom for mothers day..


and my impatients..

Will post more later, when I upload the pictures.
