How my Garden Grows
I have had my chiminea for years. I received it as a gift and loved it. Unfortunately it has sat in my garage for the past few years hardly used. Thanks mostly in part to the fire pit rage. Our neighbor has a fire pit in his back yard that our little neighborhood group of friends gather round on weekends, and now we have one in our backyard as well.
I am a little bit sentimental when it comes to gifts from my boys. My oldest was proud the day he gave the chiminea to me for mothers day so I cannot part with it. This is a picture of a chiminea, not mine but it looks identical to mine.
And here is mine. I did find a clever use for it. Pretty cute huh?
On to the back yard
When you build a house the landscaping is an upgrade usually any thing past a few trees and bushes in the front. So my back yard was in desperate need of some flowers. I always wonder if the guy from the TV show who finds people in the Home Depot store is ever there when I am. What I would give to have him approach me and ask if he can come home and make over my yard. A girl can dream!
I planted a little red bud tree a few years ago in the back yard but felt it needed some sort of flowers to go around it. I had a tree ring and a few arbervities in the corner of the yard but this is more in the center of the yard. So we set out to build a burm. It took us all afternoon to complete it but I love how it turned out! Yes we used an extension cord to lay out the design. It is refered to as my Florida burm and I want to be right about where the plug is on the beach! Naples area!

We planted all perenials so it will come back every year! Hopefully if I can keep the bunnies from eating anything! They are crazy in our neighborhood this year.
