    I want to come live in your garden. The photo of the rain off your wrought iron trellis is simply beyond words.

    What a wonderful garden, the raindrops look magical. Here in the South of England it is raining as well but it looks rather grey ….

  12. sharon | April 29, 2010 at 10:24 am |

    Your photos tell such a wonderful magical story Patti! Thank you for sharing this beauty with us!!

    These photos really are incredible! I loved the winter wonderland, but I think the magical spring rain is lovelier! hugs Christen

    As usually Patty, you capture such gorgeous things of nature…thanks for sharing. The garden is a favorite place of mine…love looking at yours.

  15. Janice | April 29, 2010 at 2:17 pm |

    I love your gate and fence with all the greenery growing round it. Everything looks so fresh and green.

  16. Cynnie | April 29, 2010 at 2:24 pm |

    Wonderful….it looks like a little paradise you have there…..beautiful fotos girl!!

  17. Ashlyn | April 29, 2010 at 3:04 pm |

    You wanna come to Missouri and do some landscaping for me? ;)

    You’re yard looks beautiful! I love flowers but for some reason, I don’t have much luck with them. Probably because I have NO idea what I’m doing! Lol
    Hugs, Ashlyn

    I love you place of earthly serenity…a moist green garden complete with the threads of the touch of your human artist hands. I am hopeful we will receive some the sky’s moist renewal! Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart

    what a beautiful garden you have Patty, gorgeous photos…..

  21. Nathalie Thompson | April 30, 2010 at 9:15 am |

    Is that really your gate? I am jealous! And I love your succulant planter. I am convinced that container gardening is the way to go this year– they are easy to weed!

  22. Rini | April 30, 2010 at 10:49 am |

    These phots are beautiful Patty !
    ♥ love from Rini ♥

    Are you for hire? :o ) Your garden is a slice of heaven!!!

  24. penny | April 30, 2010 at 2:13 pm |

    I want to live in your garden !

  25. jeanie | April 30, 2010 at 3:08 pm |

    How very lovely — I can see most of the senses at work: sight for sure, sound with those fountains, touching, smelling. Is there anything edible yet?!!

  26. Susan Reaney | April 30, 2010 at 5:46 pm |

    Patty,
    Those are so beautiful. They almost don’t seem real to me. Do you really have that many flowers in Virginia right now?

    We are still searching for Spring in Minnesota, though we do have some daffodils. I brought two in the house just to brighten it up.

    What a treat…everything is magical!

    Oh… your Virginia garden is breathtaking. I love the first photograph of the gate. How lovely your spring is, how lush and welcoming… roxanne

  29. herminesplace | May 1, 2010 at 5:13 pm |

    WOW these photos are absolutely gorgeous, love the one with the little bird.

  30. jeanie | May 3, 2010 at 4:11 pm |

    So beautiful and colorful I almost can’t bear it! Rain looks like it has been your way, but oh! What it does for those flowers (and photos!) Thank you for sharing spring!

  31. lorraine | May 5, 2010 at 2:37 pm |

    I love seeing photos of your beautiful garden..a little friendly robin comes to my garden every day for all the bread I leave out for the birds

  32. Anke | May 6, 2010 at 1:36 am |

    Oh Patty…I wish I could come and spend a day in your garden with you.
    I was fascinated by your 6th photo….I thought they were 2 patterned strips on a piece of wood…but now I realise they are gaps in a fence. Brilliant!
