My Neighbor's Garden...

First installment of "Why I Love My Bicycle Commute!"

I took the time one morning to stop and take pictures of one of my neighbors' gardens... What a lovely sight on my way...

I don't know what this yellow flowered bush is...  but it's so cheerful!

This is a Purple Allamanda...

and what a beauty it is,

With it's big soft violet flowers...

A brilliant yellow flowering tree... A False Ponciana? Don't really know... but it makes me smile...

and this beautiful Angels Trumpet tree...

I just love the flowers!

They are this soft shell pink...  See the bee?

Heavenly... don't you think?

Flowers for Jenny...

Well... the flowers are ready... I hope Jenny and Joe are!

Fish Bowl?

Fish Bowl Chic!

Fitting for these two... who, I was informed earlier today, are quoting from Dr. Suess for their vows...

This will be their second marriage... to each other... Yep, second time around for this couple!

I Let the Cat Out of the Bag...

Or... the bird out of the cage...

This was supposed to be a surprise for my aunt's wedding, but I slipped last night on the phone with her.  She wanted a box for her gift table to put cards in... Her wedding is bird themed, so I thought... why not a bird cage?

Her wedding is October 1 and will be held outside in the Georgia mountains... Her flowers are red, white and yellow/orange bicolor roses and rose hip berries. I couldn't find the silk bicolored roses, so I used the big orange rose hips for that color. There will be birds on the napkins and other decorations. I'm still working on her guest book... which will have a cute little bird on it too.

I know... I need to get on it... I'm leaving Thursday!
