{Dogwood Flowers Frame our Home & Gazebo}

When our Dogwood near the Gazebo is in full bloom, its Flowers literally do Frame our Home & Gazebo! Have a look at its magic. Photos were taken on April 3, before the heavy rain and thunderstorms of past Monday that did knock off all blossoms...
You see what I mean by 'Framing' our Home...
These photos also show the Gingerbread work from  Vintage Woodworks, like the Fleur de Lys trim under the gable.
The Benjamin Moore color Golden Mist for our Home stands out so pretty with those Dogwood Flowers!
Here I am actually standing inside our Gazebo, looking back at our Home.
No so far I did not regret the color choice; it blends in very nice with its surroundings!
However, such big trees create lots of shade...
You see those Pot-plants all lined up with our exotic jasmines?
From the stairs to our veranda, now looking toward the pond for showing the actual Dogwood tree and our Gazebo.
Against the sunlight it gives such a striking view.
The suet blocks for the birds are hanging down from our Holly tree...
Our cat-boy Barty is in front of the gazebo.
We also are very pleased with our Interlock Aluminum Aged Copper Slate Roofing by Interlock Metal Roofing.
That was it; an insight of our Spring in Georgia when the Dogwoods bloom.
Thanks for your visit and hope you enjoyed it!

  2. Hello Mariette, Dogwoods, with their delicate blooms, are the perfect flowering tree for early Spring. They grow wild everywhere in Ohio, and are a highlight of Spring walks. Your example is perfectly sited to add charm to both your house and your summerhouse.

  3. The house looks so pretty with the sunshine and the blossom. What a pity they all had gone with the storms.

  9. Dearest Mariette,
    What a lovely tree!!! It's a pitty it could not keep its blossoms a little longer ! The same happens with our almond trees which blossom very early and then rain comes and most of the flowers are gone!!!
    You live in such a beautiful area! And I like the colour of your house very much!!!!
    I also wish you a blessed Holy week and a happy Easter!
    Many hugs!!!

    1. Liebe Ina,
      Ja, dass dachte ich schon es wäre in Luttelgeest die Orchideen Hoeve. Schön dass es so etwas gibt für vielen Menschen um so etwas geniessen zu können.
      Danke für dein Kompliment, wir haben hier leider keine Papageien, nur Kolibris und viele und sehr grosse Schmetterlingen auch.
      Ganz liebe Grüsse,
      Mariette
