My flower pots have never, ever looked this good! I think it is because we finally got some rain barrels and now I’m using rain water. I was never really sold on the idea of rain barrels but I have completely changed my mind. Now I’m like the crazy water lady, if I see a shower on the way I quickly fill up all my watering cans and extra pails so that I can make more room in the barrels. Heaven forbid they ever dry up!

Ali says
all I can say is WOW!!!! how gorgeous… and yes rain barrels are great.. if you get rain!!!!
We are so dry here, I’ve been too busy for flowers this summer (isn’t that sad) and the lawn is brown and crispy. :(
Your garden has brought a little sunshine to my day.

What a beautiful garden and what a view of the water too. I was laughing looking at the lush greenery as it is so very beautiful and such an impossible dream here in Texas. All my perennials are struggling thanks to the 100F+ days we are enduring.
That is one beautiful deck to sit upon and admire the view.
