Papa’s World – Our wall of ROSES – spring into flowers!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Good morning people – Spring is a time of planting – trimming – and seeing perennials come to fruit!

We have planted them so that they come back each year.

We also have potted flowers – and these I will try to save for next year!

Hanging baskets are also one of our favorites in the front!

We will add more as we get closer to the end of Spring!

We have always had flowers at each home we have owned.

But – this time we have a “WALL OF ROSES”!!!!

Here on the SW side of the house are these roses that bloom in the Spring and come back mid-summer!

On the opposite side of the house – they are pink – but this side blooms first!

Our “WALL OF RED ROSES”

Thanks for reading and later I will blog on what we add!

Papa’s World – The BILTMORE GARDENS!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

To think these magical gardens are over 100 years old – it takes your breath away!

Here is where thousands of trees – plants and flowers were carefully cultivated to bring life back to a land cleared for farming!

I can not imagine the cost of building this and maintaining it; it still functions today!

The arrangements and colors are breathtaking – the entire average surrounding the estate is a result of years of planting trees – shrubs, and plants that flower.

Cindy and Sherry are inside the greenhouse with thousands of plants.

It is stunning that this is still going on all these years.

If you visit – walk the walled-in gardens and visit the greenhouse – you will not be disappointed.

Papa’s World – our patio – a quiet place to think !

/ Tom / Leave a comment

The patio – is about 400 S.F. – very quiet and private –

almost too much for me – I prefer the front porch !

Good morning

Now Sherry loves this area – for that reason –

but I like to people watch – car watch – see what is happening !

Looking outside from inside

There is this tree – bush that we have had for years and years !

It is a Crepe Myrtle –

and has two colors – pink and purple !

It stays in that pot – even through the Winter !

The only things we do is water and nutrient it !!!!!

CREPE MYRTLE

It is too heave for me to pick up anymore –

so I just slide it to where ever she wants it !

Sitting and flowers

Most times – I head for the front porch until the Sun drives me out !

Sherry likes this area

and will set up her computer and work from out there.

Sherry’s spot

This in the Spring – Summer and Fall is her office on nice days.

And when we have guests – or dinner- we will be out here.

Sometimes it gets too hot

Now there are times during the heat wave –

I will wash the slate down to cool it off –

as it will burn the bottom of you bare feet !

I had just washed it all down

Sherry picked out and planted all the flowers

I plant outside in the beds and we both do the big pots outside.

The patio is in a U shape and is protected on three sides by the house

with the fence and gate covering the rest of it !

Our little peaceful quiet refuge

This is but just another facet of our daily living-
