Paradise in Blogland

Y'all, Phyllis from Around the House has been holding out on us! I've got the goods on her now, though. Phyllis spends her days blogging in a beautiful paradise and it's right in her own backyard. Come along for a little garden tour...and try to not be as jealous as I am! ;)


What a gorgeous way to use a fountain!




Let's go for a stroll in her lush garden.







This waterfall must sound heavenly on a hot summer's day.




So pretty! Now, I've been saving the best for last. You might want to sit down for this! :)




Pool party at Phyllis's house! Phyllis, you don't mind if a few thousand of your closest blogging friends drop by for a dip, do you? ;) Now I ask, would you ever leave this spot? This is where you'd find me all the live long day. :)

Phyllis, thanks for sharing your beautiful backyard paradise! Tina =^..^= is living the good life!


See you this evening for Tablescape Thursday.

Who needs a house with a yard like that? I don't think that I would get much done except for lazing about that pool. Just beautiful!

I've missed Phyllis' posts, Susan! I do hope she is enjoying her beautiful yard and garden though. Love your new blog header, too!

Susan, thanks for sharing the garden photos. As one who is spending time with my garden these days, it's fun to see what another has done. I love seeing white flowers in a garden and add more and more to my space each season. ~ Sarah

Susan,
Truly a beautifu garden, indeed. Sorry, I am an indoors lady and would prefer to sit near a huge window or patio door to blog! By the way, your picket fence in the Spring header and bicycle took me home again in my mind. Thank you for the lovely memory!
Fondly,
Pat

Sending a sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm. What a beautiful setting - it must surely reflect Phyllis's elegance and welcoming personality! Thank you for sharing, and oh, that plant in the fountain is definitely a great idea! Is that stephanotis (sp) in the fountain? Ciao, bella!

Gorgeous gardens! I see all the lovely garden pics everyone's been sharing, and it just makes me want to run out and plop a "For Sale" sign in my front yard. There was a gorgeous home for sale around the corner from my parents the last time we were down visiting, but hubs says he could never live someplace so hot.(They're in Atlanta, too)

Thanks for sharing Tina's garden with us

Jealous! I don't even have a decent yard for a garden. That's an absolutely stunning garden. I want to live in her backyard. :P

Wow!, Phyllis, why have you been hiding this from us? And I thought our backyard is lush. But ours is nothing compared to this. I blogged about our pool too, our first pool party for this yaer. Come and see when you have a chance! It'll be my Tablescape Th. contribution too....Christine
