Love that first shot of your garden – it looks so beautiful with the trees and the pool. Your husband seems quite happy hanging from one! The flowers are wonderful, loving the reds especially. Have yourself a great Christmas and New Year 🙂

Lots of hard work with a big yard but how great to have so much space 🙂 Your husband looks rather at home up a tree – he’ll be building a treehouse next 😉
Such lovely colours in your garden, I love the pinks especially – and HOW TALL is Lily getting ?!
Thanks for joining in again and so much this year – your posts are always full of colour and sunshine. A very Merry Christmas to you xxx

I didn’t see your husband in that first photo (I was admiring your pool!) so I didn’t realise how tall that tree was until I had another look. Whoa! Your garden is looking lovely as usual. I really like those dainty pink flowers 🙂

That is some big maintenance to have to climb that tree! The colors are beautiful and I love seeing the green – the only color out my window right now is brown – blah.

@Charmaine,
thank you Charmaine. we rented this house in september and the garden was definitely established. over established actually. we had to do a lot of cleaning out but so worth it! happy holidays.

Fabulous! I am a person that usually needs to be busy, so I love pottering and working in the garden because it’s an excuse to be outside and productive. I don’t think I have it in me to get up trees like that anymore! I tried a few months ago- I still feel like a kid, but my limberness is gone! It looks gorgeously lush as always! Merry Christmas!

@Katie,
i agree, working in the garden is such a good way to be out and busy. and Will can definitely always have the tree climbing job because heights are not really my thing. Merry Christmas!!
