{ garden planning }

It's a rainy and cold Sunday here,


but that doesn't stop me from dreaming


about the wonderful sunny days ahead.


I'm starting to plan out my garden projects


and while looking around


I found some fun things for the garden.


I thought I would share them with you...


just in case you are garden planning too.


I found this lovely arched cypress bridge.


I have a unsightly ditch in my back yard,


but I have future plans for that ditch that


involve some sort of bridge like this one,


some beautiful plantings and rock,


to turn the eye sore into a feature.


Whenever I get there I'll be sure to share.





I found these adorable little cattail bird feeders.


I can't resist these, and at some point


they will find a home in my backyard.






More adorable bird feeders,


this time in a cute acorn shape.


I can so see these hanging from


some of my trees, once they


become a little more mature.


Aren't they the cutest?





I just had to include this piece of awesomeness.


This is a mason bee house.


I am so attracted to the shape and texture


of this cool house.


Mason bee's are non stinging,


smaller than a honeybee,


and are amazing pollinators.


So this little house will help your garden grow.





The last of the lovelies is this pretty




One day I hope to have little paths


like this one above


running through my back yard,


and when I do, I could easily see


this little birdbath decorating my garden.


Ahhh, isn't garden planning so much fun.


I'll keep you posted on my garden projects


in the warm days to come,


but until then,


I'll keep on dreaming...



*peace & love*

Carrie

  1. Hi Carrie...

    Ugh, it is raining here too, has been all day and so gray and gloomy. I am dreaming of sunshine and flowers and at least 60 degrees.

    Hugs,
    LeAnn:)

  2. Carrie, those are some wonderful things you found there! I want to be sure and take notes! :-)

    I have just gotten back online today (long story I explained on my blog), but I want to put that link up to your other post. Thanks for that.

    Sending you warm hugs. I will be MIA (as explained in my post), but I will be sure and catch up with you when I return!

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

  4. I love your gorgeous garden finds! I recently posted about a bistro table and chair set I am dreaming of for my backyard.

    It was sunny, but cold here today, we are getting all of the rain the next three days. Ugh!

  5. It is nasty & rainy here too! (Pac NW) These days are so hard for me! Esp. when we've had such gorgeous 65-70 degree weather!

    I absolutely adore those acorn feeders! Those are sooooo cute!! I might be needing some of those! :)

  9. Ooh, fun springy finds! I'm excited for you and your garden!

    But if you don't mind, when your summer weather arrives, would you mind sending us some of it? I'm afraid we're going to be in the triple digits sooner rather than later! It was already in the mid 80's today. UGH. Can I live vicariously through you?

  10. These were so fun and lovely. My favorite is the mason bee house. Our polinator bees are dying out all the US. If it were only the killer bees that would go caput... Love the idea of bees that don't sting. That was new info to me. Thanks. :)
