I'm Dreaming of Flowers and Water and Benches, Oh My

The beginning.

Don't look to closely,  I have three dogs and I don't like winter . . . so many piles to rake.


The corner between the house and the barn where the tumbled weeds and dust blew all year.  ooh, snakey!

Bad Jerri!
Still finding Christmas :)


The plan.  
Got any ideas out there, my dear, sweet ever so close blogging buddies?  Hum?  Must think zone 7, low maintance, native kind of stuff.

Love the fabric colors, LOVE THE FURNITURE, Love the Help! Ha!

Native plants that I like - Purple Sage, Crete Mertle's, Fountian Grass. Not much but maybe that'll help!

Bench - I think the first one (black) would go best with the rest of the furniture...BUT I love all of them.

Fun Post...can't wait to see the pics! Praying for your talk on Thursday in Childress!

Oh wow! The fabric selections are awesome! I'm a fan of black furniture these days, so I recommend the black bench! Being that I live in Georgia, I don't know that I can recommend plants for you!?!?! :) Keep us posted on the progress!!!
