And last but never least Zebrina French Hollycock, a power house in the garden, blooms all summer long and looks great with so many shrubs and perennials. It is a dwarf and I have grown it many years.

Whew!! That is a bunch and I hope I got the names right!

Here is a post I did on Hollyhocks too....check it out.

What's going on here?

It is great fun to tell the story of how we ended up way out here in the boonies. I cannot imagine my life any place else. I will take you on a journey of the construction of the house, beginning of a garden, and the days that follow that have became my life. I have lots to share and look forward to having new friends visit my country home and gardens.

We live on 7 beautiful acres in Southern Indiana. My garden is 6 years old and I have done all of the "design" myself (if there is one that is!). I am an avid rose collector and love the grandma's garden type-look. If you enjoy country style borders and blooms, please take a look and leave a note. I love to hear from you.

~All Things Bright And Beautiful~

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning,
That brightens up the sky;
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
