Hi Everyone! I hope you're enjoying a wonderful weekend.
For Sunday Favorites I'm re-running this post which was first seen in September 2009. Thanks, Chari, at Happy to Design, for hosting this party and giving us the opportunity to see posts that we may otherwise have missed.
From September 1, 2009:
In my garden I've planted geraniums, lobelia, petunias and allisium. But there are others that live among the garden plants. I spy a fat little bird, and a sweet, chubby, little angel.....
and a stately copper dragonfly come to rest upon the jasmine.
A fairy ball, and a petite wooden bird are nestled beside the flowers...
watching the angels living cheek to cheek with the lobelia
and alongside the petunias, as they play heavenly instuments while breathing in the sweet scent of the purple and blue flowers,
in my little deck garden, here on the redwood coast.
If you look closely, you will recognize some of these pictures - they were used to make my blog buttons!
My garden is starting to look just like this again, now that it's late spring.
Every year after the hard winter rains I replant the pots, and this year I have tomatoes growing on the deck for the first time, because we have so much more sun out there now.
I'm looking forward to Caprese Salad, made with homegrown tomatoes, by the time September rolls around. I guess I should plant some basil, too! Delicious!

Gardens as such fun to look at, and yours is pretty and inspiring. We are trying tomatoes in pots for the first time this year since our garden has gotten too shady an we can place the pots in sun. They are growing but no blossoms yet (here in the south we're a bit ahead of you!) Thanks for your comments on the eccentricly colored house! :-)
Your gardens are beautiful Heidi, you obviously have a green thumb....wish I did, I only do well with potted petunias...and I do OK with vines....I guess because I really do not have to do much to them but trim. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Great plants and I love all your added art pieces to the garden.
I like that dragonfly. I have real ones almost that big in my garden.
I don't think there is anything better than a home grown tomato.
Thank you so much for visiting! Beautiful photos of the garden! Looks like a lovely place to relax.
Very pretty garden on your deck. Love all the color.
Hi Heidi!
Your flowers look so pretty!I can't wait for another couple of weeks to start planting our annuals. It is still too cold here to do that. Seeing flowers, no matter hat kind, just makes me smile!
Beautiful! I so love flowers. I need to get some herbs started too.

I always cheer when I see anything pertaining to gardening. I have a little round mosaic ball just like yours.

Hi Heidi, Lovely gardens... isn't it fun to look back at years past! Here in the spring when everything is still filling in it's hard to remember the lushness of late summer! Thanks for sharing!
