My mentor, my friend

Sandy has held my hand, guided me in gardening and has lent me her ear. She is a great example of friendship and unconditional love. I look forward to the many years ahead. Posted by Picasa

The bride was stunning. She was the picture of perfection. Posted by Picasa
One of my favorite pics. This is my big brother and me. I love him with all my heart, and I hope we were able to give you the day that both you and "S" deserved. We wish you a lifetime of happiness.

6 days and counting

Well, we are almost at the big day. 6 days until my brother says "I Do" in our backyard.

It has been a long 1 1/2 years getting ready. Our yard has gone from just being a yard that was in very bad shape, to a beautiful, peaceful, tranquil place.

It only took big machinery, many,many hours of hard labour and a vision that it could be beautiful. I have to say that it turned out even better than the picture I had in my head. My husband has been fabulous and has worked so hard to complete all the projects. My brother has been a trouper and without his help, we couldn't have pulled this one off. And I am done. I am so proud of our work. I will post pics soon.

My flowers have managed to stay beautiful. I got smart this year and planted many more perennials and tropicals in my containers. They have been babied for 4 months, I have talked to the flower gods, non stop and now we can sit back, enjoy the view and hopefully, the wedding will be all that A and S have wished for.
