It has already hit temps in the 80's and 90's with today predicted to reach near 100 degrees. Last weekend, I took a garden stroll to visit my arty garden friends and flowers. Everything is in bloom and enjoying the spring rains. With camera in hand, I took some pictures to share with you. Please ya'll come join me in my Texas garden!
Mister Jeans~ isn't this the cutest garden frog? My Mother designed him many years ago and he sits in my garden among the bushes on an old chair to greet anyone who walks by.
I like to take old pots or other interesting containers to plant in. This old pot holds red begonias.
This large archway is home to a thornless Carolina Yellow Mini Rose. It did not bloom this season. Sometimes it skips a spring. Right next to this is our monster Southern Magnolia Tree. It is loaded with buds. I hope to get some pictures soon when it really starts to bloom. Below you can see how large it is by looking at the garden chairs in front.
It's 80 degrees! Miss Beazy has her eye on the water! I know she is ready for a swim. Okay here she goes! Fetching, her favorite play day in the pool!
My new addition, a French cottage garden bike. Looks like my frog friend found a seat to watch the day go by! The white gardenias are in bloom for the first time since I planted them two years ago. So excited!!
Sweet momma bunny and her 3 little babies. This treasure was a gift from my dear hubby 17 years ago. Made from ceramic and hand painted, the bunnies look so real and guests have stopped many times in surprize!
Well, that's all friends. So happy you could visit some of my garden and take a walk with me. Think I'll sit back in the sun on this big rock and rest awhile. See you again soon!
Blessings always, Celestina

I love all the beautiful pictures of your flowers. I'm a big bunny lover, so it is great to see all your bunnies, the best being the momma with her babies. My DD gave me a cute hedgehog to add to my garden, he will join lots of bunnies and fairies. Katie
What a lush tour, sweet chick! I loved looking at all the elements in your garden. AND Miss Beazey in "her" pool!!! Yep, sweet post,
Smoochies,

You garden looks beautiful. Just like you! Miss Beazy looks nice and cool in the pool. It would be my dream t visit you in your gorgeous house some day. Hope all is well with you and hope you are having a good start to summer. I plan on planting this weekend, so hopefully I will have some garden pics soon!
Hi Celeste,
Your plants are very pretty and I love all the lawn ornaments. The magnolias are in full bloom in SC. I love to do things with their big leaves, especially at Christmas time. I spray some of them gold. I've been busy redoing some of our back yard. I'll post it when it is done.
Have a good weekend and enjoy the outdoors.
Hi Celestina...thanks for the tour of your very lovely garden. I love that birdhouse, did you make that?? It is wonderful. Love the frogs too, that bike is one of my favorites...I love beautiful things that can hold pots of flowers. Enjoy it.
Your garden is so lovely. Your bunnies are so cute. I love the momma and the babies and the one in the flower pot.
Hugs, from Susan at the Little Yellow House
Oh that magnolia is AMAZING!! I want to plant one this year...just love em. Your flowers are all so pretty.
Your little guy is SO cute in the pool!

Hi Celeste!
Everything looks so lovely and green in Texas! Miss Beasley is just the sweetest ever! Love all of your sweet goodies all around and of course it all has the Celeste decorative touch!

I just came inside for a cup of tea and a rest. I was out creating planters for the deck. Your garden is beautiful, and you gave me some real inspiration here. Rhondi from Rose Colored Glasses:

Miss Beazy takes the cake !! What a sweetheart !! :) Your garden is very lush. I forgot how green Texas was. :) Hope you are having a great week !!
What a sweet little garden. I love all the little characters. You french cottage garden bike is just adorable. Thanks for the tour of your lovely garden.
great pics! Nothing better than strolling through a garden on a spring/summer day. I wish I had any kind of knack for gardening myself, sadly none. But my wife and I just went to a public garden yesterday and it was wonderful, so relaxing. Thanks for posting!
Cute perspective with the frogs ~ beautiful post, Celeste! Your garden & grounds look lovely. Such a precious little froggie from your mother! I adore your new French garden bike, also the little black painted bench, & the rustic white flower cart! Everything just looks so pretty. I can tell you & Larry keep it in apple-pie order. Fun to see Beaz swimming, too!
Love you,

Your garden is lovely. My golden used to love to swim in the pool also, brings back good memories. We are getting warm here in Ohio also and it looks like my filter for the pool is broken, perfect timing as always. LOL Have a good week!
Your garden is wonderful!
I love Texas!!!!
My daughter lived there a few years ago and it was so much fun going to see her and visiting such a lovely state!
Celeste, I love this post, your garden area is just beautiful. The frogs are so cute and the flowers so pretty. Miss Beazy is so beautiful, I'm sure she loves the pool!
