And I leave you with my favorite image…this fountain in the side patio is my favorite…..

The sound of the water trickling is so calming, especially against the sounds of the singing birds!…

    What a beautiful yard paradise! It could be featured in a garden magazine, with those beautiful fresh flowers, beautiful fence and to-die-for fountain. I love this house. Thanks for sharing.

    Tell Pam that her garden is gorgeous. I’m sure she gets much pleasure from the fruits of her labor. I would never get anything done in my craft room with that beautiful view.

    What beautiful gardens she has created! I’m like you and just LOVE the fountain. It looks so southern too. I can’t get over how large some of her hosta is. She truly knows what she’s doing when it comes to landscaping. Thanks so much for sharing her gorgeous yard.

    Simply beautiful! I felt like I was touring a garden in Charleston as soon as I spied her fountain. Love the bunny peeking through the ground cover. Your very first picture looking through the gate was very enticing and drew me right in!
