Getting plenty dirty planting some more spring favorites in the garden~Here are some of my favorite! Bridal Veil a type of spirea is one of my very favorite bushes to see this time of year. It's delicate white flowers are abundant & put on such a pretty show for a few weeks.
This rhododendron is called 'lilac lights" & is stunning!
Lots of gorgeous dahlia bulbs are going in the garden beds.
I have a few of these gorgeous weigela & love the way they drape with the heaviness of their blooms.
Wanted to share with you this whimsical rug that I just ordered from Mackenzie-Childs that's going down to the beach house with us. Perfect!
Have a wonderful week my blog friends! xoxo
Chris,
Sorry I never made the sale. Since we weren't allowed to burn on Friday ( and Bob had taken the day off specifically for that purpose) we went to Sandwich to explore and then we had our planned trip to NYC on Saturday. Both were lovely days spent together, but I really wanted to see the "barn".

Hello Chris... your flowers are beautiful! We used to have a Bridal Wreath Spirea at our other home very similar to your Bridal Veil one... I always pressed the little flowers, they turned out so pretty! Your Dahlias are just stunning! And I LOVE your new fish rug! xoxo Julie Marie

What an impressive rug. I love it. Once had some fish wrought iron outdoor chairs when I lived briefly in Houston that were very similiar

Hi Chris!
How are you sweets? So sorry I haven't been by sooner. I just moved recently and was so busy. I hope you are doing great. I looove those flowers! But I must admit that my allergies go nuts because of them..lol. And what a great rug! I love Mckenzie products. The first time I saw her was on the Christopher Lowell show several years ago. I thought she had the cutest whimsical furniture I had ever seen. Enjoy it Chris. Please visit my blog anytime. I always love hearing from you.
