Dancing Willow on my Sunday Stroll and other odds and ends.

Today I was making my bed when I looked out the window and became mesmerized by the willow tree dancing in the breeze in the middle of our neighborhood. I have always loved these trees-they are gracefully, majestic and downright mesmerizing. They sway, dance, ripple and hum to you when a breeze or wind glides through them. Here are a few pictures of the willow tree outside our window.








I don't know if you remember but I brought this black wrought iron trellis over from the old house and I also dug up the antique red climber rose and brought it over too. Yesterday John and I potted the rose up (cut it way back first), then we put the trellis up against the garage wall in the courtyard (figured the black trellis and the red rose would show off really well). I'm sure the rosebush will start growing its whips again soon and cover the trellis again. It is a very agressive climber and looks just beautiful. I couldn't bear to leave it at the old house with no water, fertilizer or care.


I can't believe how big these Lamb's Ears have gotten in this container. I love their gray-green foliage!


I was taking the new wrought iron trellis with the climbing rose in the courtyard and I happened to look back and saw this beautiful picture of the picnic table, market umbrella, the fountain, etc. I love the way this turned out.



Last but not least here is the paint chips that John and I must make our final choice from for the Dining Room walls and 2 platforms of the tray ceiling. Kittery Point Green is a favorite of mine. But then again so is Wythe Blue, Harbor Haze and Yarmouth Blue! Then there is Van Alen Green and Hancock Green! Too many choices and not enough walls!! No seriously John and I will be working on our choices and finally picking one this week.
