Weekend Thoughts
Happy weekend! The week flew by, I can't believe it's already the weekend can you? This weekend, so far, I haven't done a whole lot except tend to some of our plants, and sit under the umbrella on the back deck to read. That's unusual for me, but I've had a busy week, so a rest was welcome.
Our garden sees it's share of laughter, guests, family and all around merriment. But some weekends, I love it most when it's quiet.
What are some of the most beautiful parts of your garden that you enjoy?
Is it a little seating area like ours, above, where you drink your first cup of coffee? {it's also where we sit and have a glass of wine before dinner.}
Do you have a small garden house or a bench in your garden to pot plants? Built by Mr. FGH as a birthday gift for me one year, I love my "little French garden house" {it's where the name of my business originated!}
Or a stone bench to sit and drink a cup of tea later in the day? I bought our stone bench {it rests on two rabbits} from a neighbor down the street years ago, it's probably my favorite thing in the garden. It took three trips, two wheel barrows and a "dollie" to cart home, it's so heavy.
Do you have statues or figurines in your gardens? I love to add some decorative pieces, this girl has been on our deck for 15 years, I love how she is developing patina. I hope you all have a beautiful, relaxing weekend! On Tuesday, I am excited to share a chat I recently had with one of Tennessee's premier interior decorators. It's a don't-miss post with amazing photographs of his stunning design work, and a few of his best tips too.
What do you love most about your garden, I'd love to hear from you!

Rue, that’s a gingko. We have to have it professionally scaled back once every two years, it grows and grows. It shade our whole back part of the house in summer, which is wonderful. Late fall, all the leaves come down, and as we don’t had snow in my part of California, my children used to call it “their” snow.
