Farm House Garden Magic

Today is OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY at a Southern Daydreamer.

To me the yard at our farmhouse is a magical place. I wanted to share some of that with you.

A blue and white marble found early one misty Saturday morning after an overnight rain shower. From my estimations, it has been many years since a child lived here. Do boys even play with marbles any more?



The shade/woodland/magical garden:



The miniature rose I received for Mother's Day a few years ago:



Gerbera Daisies bought on clearance at Lowes:



Caladiums, pansies, impatiens, mint and more. Do you see the silver spoon laying on the rock? That was uncovered in this garden while weeding.



The garden Angel:



Roadside Daylillies growing in the front flower bed:



A pot of herbs with a "guard frog" sitting on the edge of the pot:



A side view of the fields early in the morning:



An old rusty, bent enamelware dishpan filled with herbs and other flowers. The overnight rain shower splashed dirt on the side:



Another "Guard Frog":



Coming in the driveway:



The Rudbeckia that I transplanted from my prior home:



I hope you enjoyed a little bit of magic today.

Oh Debbie this is wonderful I feel like I'm your friend and we just took a walk through your lovely gardens. Keep showing us more. I want to come back for another visit. :)
Thanks!

What a beautiful place! I bet the boy who left the marble out also left that spoon in the garden. My kiddos love to use spoons to dig in the dirt.

I did enjoy the bit of magic. Love the blue marble and the silver spoon you found. What treasures!!! I love the "wide open spaces" I can see in the background of your pictures. Don't you just love being in the country?
