More Country Living

 Since it's raining here today and the weather

is too cold to contemplate gardening

I thought I'd share some images from

 Country Living Magazine...

let's take a stroll down the slate path

 

and enter through the garden gate

or this one if you prefer.

enjoy the gardens

using old tea cups to hold bird seed is a great idea!

how about using an old cracked bird bath as a planter?

I actually have hens & chicks planted in mine!!!

I've also used this idea, planting in an old rusted out watering can.

let's pick some fresh vegetables

and sit at one of many outdoor tables...

when we're done with using our tools we'll store them safely in the shed.

perhaps you'd prefer this one,

or how about this one?

Before we leave we should take some time to sit and visit

on the front porch.

Now while all of these photos are dreamy

none of them is my yard,

but I promise as soon as it warms up

and things are planted that

I will take you on a tour of my own

backyard.

Until then, dreaming of the outdoors will have to do!
