{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!

{Dad Told us Stories About Bunnies on Bikes & Mopeds}

As little children we loved to listen to Dad's stories, during lunch time (our hot meal of the day) after coming home from school. Dad had worked on the field and he always fashioned exciting stories about bunnies on bikes and mopeds as they tore through the corn- and pole beans... Dad told these stories with such a vigor that we really BELIEVED him! Too bad, we all had to walk back to school as Dad again could encounter his furry friends once he returned to the fields. These stories are forever in my memory and low and behold, this year's Easter Catalog from Gump's, did show Mr. & Mrs Bunny on their Penny Farthings or High Wheeler. I just could not resist ordering them...

Here they are, cycling in our garden amongst the mosses and the white violets...

Are those not lovely?!

Now on top of our picnic table with bench near the pond with the Japanese Somei Yoshino cherry as backdrop.

Don't worry, they will not drive into each other's wheels. Mrs. Bunny just tries to avoid some bird poop on the table...

This couple of fun bunnies did bring back to life those exciting stories told by Dad!

Even though we in our garden have no rows of corn, nor pole beans...

This is cute enough for reliving my childhood imagination! 

Mrs Bunny already did get her bike straight so she will not clash with Mr. Bunny.

Gump's San Francisco offered them.

Easter 2014 will get celebrated different with those fond childhood memories!

Hope you enjoy a lovely Easter Season.

Time is moving so fast...

{Our Vinyl Picket Fence in the Spring}

Just to have a look at how our new section of the Vinyl Picket Fence is looking NOW in the Spring. Remember, on December 17, we did cut that huge 65 Year Old Pine Tree down. Two sections of new Vinyl Picket Fence were added, after husband Pieter did build that Retainer Wall as step 1 of our Water Control Project. 

That Retainer Wall underneath the Vinyl Picket Fence DOES keep the rain water from the higher street section away from our home.

Therefore I would love to link up to Theresa's: The Run *A*Round Ranch Report with Good Fences #3 - Just click above hyperlink and visit her incredible blog!

To the left is our Japanese Magnolia unfolding its new leaves. To the right you see the golden new leaves from the tall oak tree.

This is on December 13, only 4 days before that huge Pine Tree to the left got cut down...

The tall oak tree is to the right.

You can tell that the road is quite up high, looking over that picket fence. That's why the water came streaming down the hill towards our home.

Our cat-girl Tiggy-Tiger next to the 65 year old pine tree on December 13, is dreaming about spring I guess...

The magnolia tree was budding out here.

Just cleaned out our Bird Bath as it was filled with catkins and got slimy. Now it can be filled up again for our feathered friends.

Don't you like the new Spring Look in the first and last picture?
