The Photos Are Here!!
Finally the photos are here. How many months has it been? :)
I was about to walk in the door the other day when my brother in-law drove up with his camera. My sister had sent him to take photos of our new deck. Wow, sisters sure know what our blogs need don't they? While he was at it, I asked him to take a few of the gardens too.
I designed the deck, and a friend built it for us. We have a high basement with large windows, so it was tricky as we had to either stay above or below them. We still want to close the bottom of the deck in with fence boards.
Please bear in mind that this was an awfully busy week, and I hadn't weeded in days!
Without further ado...welcome to my garden--our family's labour of love:

Wow, are you the sister related to ME?????
What a change from your two other yards. I can't believe it is the same girl. Beautiful. Just Beautiful. Makes me want to come and visit.
That is absolutely beautiful, Darlene. I can see us sitting on your deck, having a soft-drink and chatting :) Thank you so much for sharing...and I didn't see any weeds.
Wow this is absolutely amazing...I love the colors.....I had to sneak up to the church office to come see your pictures this morning because you said you had posted some pictures of your garden on facebook and here I am....I want to come sit on your deck with you....that is some great garden space!
Blessings on your Sunday!
i love your garden
sisters are a blessing
mine just sent me a food parcel :)
I am seriously impressed. On top of everthing else, you design decks too?
I wanted to let you know I tagged you with a blog award. You can check it out on my blog. No pressure to participate, but I wanted you to know. You rock! :-)
The whole thing is beautiful!! Puts my yard to shame, and I couldn't see a single weed in there...
Anytime you're in Louisiana, drop by my backyard. I'll have a shovel waiting! Lovely. Simply lovely.
I think God hosts Extreme Makeovers in heaven daily.
you are kidding me with those flowers - i need to see those green thumbs - wow oh wow!!!
Beautiful pictures . I love your garden and deck.

Your deck looks beautiful. Makes me want to spend some time there. :)
What a little piece of heaven you've created in your yard! It must be so relaxing to spend time there!
A work of art! Bet those flower beds make cutting the grass a pain in the blade, though.
The deck looks wonderful. I like the orange colour you gave it. Looks comfortable for any part of the day to enjoy a cup of tea or ice tea. You'll have to have some us over to enjoy the deck with friends.
Can I come smell the flowers? its beautiful, I would love to have a garden like that but my hands I think are too heavy nothing lives if i plant it except my rose garden. love always me
I love your yard... makes me want to move back to Canada!
Oh my goodness, that is gorgeous!
You have got to be kidding me! You've had that under wraps all this time and we are just now seeing pictures!! :))
So tell me, when is the CWO bloggers convention at YOUR HOUSE going to be??? I can just see us on that deck!

I vaguely remember that blog you mentioned. I didn't read it at the time, but I remember you talking about it. Thanks for the encouragement, though! I'm glad to know that I'm not the only experiencing this up-again down-again weight stuff!
Nice.
Gorgeous, Darlene!
What a beautiful place to read and relax. I hope you enjoy it!

Well, now *that* was worth it, Darlene: very wise investment. Perfect place for painting those toes of yours. Standing ovation!
And those gardens? Girl, you have a gift with dirt ~smile~. Next time I head west, I am checking you up ~grin~.
What a beautiful patio & yard. LOOOOOVE those red patio furniture pieces & table! So trendy!!!
Hmm, maybe I should get out there & do some weeding before the sun gets scorching. *feelin guilty*
Thanks for sharing!
LOVE YOUR ORANGE DOOR!!!! :)
and your flowers are mighty magnificent as well. :)
Where is Jeff? I'm starting to feel like the waiter at a tea room.
It is perfect! I know you are so happy to have this completed! What a wonderful place to meet with the Lord over a cup of tea!
You all did a great job....now if you'd really like a challenge...come on South a bit....to Florida :)
Can I come live on it?j
You have got it going on!! Love it. A yardly feast.

Loved the walk through the garden! And I'm so enjoying CWO...it has been very addicting! Thanks for the ministry!
Ah, Winnipeg at it's best. I will arrive there on Monday. I cannot wait!
Keep not weeding - it looks beautiful!
Pics?!? Finally, I love it!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Gave me a lot of good ideas. My daughter has been wanting to do a garden for a while now, but I am not good at it and honestly kind of scared.
God Bless,
JEN
