Show and Tell Friday!
Welcome to “Show and Tell Friday!” Do you have something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Look around your home for something to share; dig through those boxes in your closet if you have to! Share photos and the story that goes with your special item.
Hello! Today, I am finally sharing pictures of our finished fence. It was well worth the 10 year wait!
I especially love the top of our gate. Phillip drew the design for them to cut, and it came out perfectly.
I've had the afternoons to myself this week, so I've spent some time in the gardens.
I planted my first Delphinium...
Hydrangea...
And yellow Lantana.
Thank you for taking a look around our yard. I'll share more next week. Have a wonderful weekend!
Remember, that your Show and Tell needs to be something from your home or garden. Please read the Show and Tell Guidelines for step-by-step instructions on how to participate.
If you would like to join in, please leave your exact show and tell blog post link, along with your first name only (this makes the list easier to read). If your link has been removed from Mr. Linky, please re-read over the guidelines before re-posting, or e-mail me with any questions.
The fence is so pretty and I love the flowers, especially the delphinium.I have never seen one up close. I meant to tell you that I am sorry you lost the lovely tree that your children loved. I know how one can get attached to trees like that. Daddy brought dogwoods from the woods to plant when I was little. We all cried when they died many years later. They were a part of his love for nature and our Creator. Blessings, Sarita

How nice the fence and gardens are! The detail on the gate is just lovely and how special that Phillip drew it himself. Just makes it so personal to your family. Love your flowers too. Hydrangeas are a favorite of mine.
