Quote O' the Day
Saturday, June 21
When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown
The pink flower above is in honor of Beverly's Pink Saturday post! 
Cielo at her House in the Roses is having a garden tour today...go over and visit to stroll through beautiful paths, smell gorgeous flowers, and admire luscious landscaping ( and you won't have to weed a bit!!!)
...the garden at kijsa's house was laid out in the late 1920s by a landscape designer flown over from England for this special job featuring brick paths, sunken beds, and a fish pond. It was quite lovely in it's heyday, (we were told) and now enjoys the tatters of age and love!!!
There are four original gates in the back yard, so here is a glimpse through the garden gate(s)...
Perfection is not the goal, but the feeling of wonder, strolling through a magical escape...where, over the decades, many have walked and children have played...

Oh, it is magical. It makes me want to walk through the gate, too. I think I am in love with the gate with the crossed keys.
What a wonderful place filled with memories of wonderful times shared by many over the years. -
It reminds me of The Secret Garden--one of my all-time favorite books. It's beautiful! -Julia

A piece of Heaven for sure. The Gate and everything.

Omigosh. I love that quote. So true. I love my secreat garden although it does not have a gate. Love the garden gates, so inviting. Isn't it funny that I've never seen a gate as saying, "Stay out", I've always seen it as an invitation to imagine what's on the other side.

It is just beautiful! I love the gates, the garden itself is also lovely!

I am sure one of you talented ladies made that fabulous gate sign and it is one of those things that I KNOW I HAVE TO HAVE ! If you made it, would you please make one for me...I won;t even ask the price....WAIT A MINUTE, I am getting caught up in the moment.....I DO NEED TO KNOW THE PRICE, of course. Seriously...I would love to have one JUST like it..
Thanks for sharing your lovely garden and photos....

What a lovely place to share! That little girl was priceless! And I have a handmade sign on my front gate telling people to close the gate so the dogs don't run out. It just isn't as pretty!
Brenda -
Thanks for stopping by my place. Glad you got a kick out of the deer trailer hitch. What some people will think of to put on their hitches!
Your garden is lovely! The gates are amazing, it reminds me of the Secret Garden like so many of your other commenters said.
I enjoyed reading your mantel series. I have two that really need to be spruced up a bit so I got some good ideas. I usually do most of my decorating for the different holidays and then they look a bit blah the rest of the time so need to get with it!!
Great blog! -
LOVE the photos~especially the beautiful gated entrance with the keys! wonderful quote too! :) chris

I love your place! I'd love nothing more than to wander around the gardens, discovering all sorts of God's things.
