Neighborhood Garden Tour #3

Hope everyone is having a wonderful GTS! We are having a hot, humid one. Temps are below normal in the Dallas area, and rainfall is way above. I went out to take some pictures of my yard and with all the weeds and MOSQUITOS (not to mention the MUSHROOMS I've begun growning!!!), I decided to call it a day and post this wonderful home I visited in Dallas. On my old post, I wrote about visiting a home and garden knowing I would just love the owner. The same is true about the home below.

Luscious, wonderful flower beds!

Aren't they wonderful?!

I love whimsical gardeners...

Sweet front porch

Notice the hand painted address on the step

Ohhh! This was a fun one to visit!

Yes, the garden voyeur has been at it again!

Neighborhood Garden Tour 2

I can't get enough of other people's gardens at this time of year.

The one or two garden tours I go on just isn't enough.

It just came to me that that is probably why my two blogs have been named what they

are...DownMyGardenPath & ThroughMyGardenGate. Those names aren't completely

accurate, as I spend a lot of time looking through other's gates and walking down

their paths. I'm too darned nosy. I've always got to know what other people are doing...in their gardens! The following photos are of a very unassuming house with a wonderful side yard in the historic area of our city. My husband didn't even question me when I asked him to pull over. It's just easier to go along... I've decided when I go on these escapades, I'll post them on my blog for others of like mind to enjoy. It's a wasted experience for my dear hubby!

Amazing statue of a swinging girl actually coming out of a real tree.

Pergola covered with lush foilage.

Substantial raised beds with a wonderful fountain in the background
