Melissa, you are always an inspiration to all of us. You get “it” about how to live, and it come through in what you do.

Happy Mother’s Day to you and your family.

Those are really beautiful! I think I did find a budget friendly fireplace…not as grand (nor expensive :-) ) as the first picture. I think once I have a change to landscape around mine and maybe add some pots full of colorful flowers, it will be beautiful…
Hugs,
Penny

Too grand for my taste, I’m afraid, yet beautiful to see in a hotel or spa. Think of all that water one needs to water the grass! We are thinking of the plants to use in our backyard, now. Fortunately the Mediterranean plants don’t need that much water!

Pretty, pretty, pretty!!!

I saved the third one for my wallpaper, and titled it “Alesha’s Dream”! :-)

Thanks for the beautiful pics! I recommended you to my readers, too.

These are wonderful–and so relaxing. Think I could really do with some rest–feels as if I have been running around for the past two months without sleep . . .

Happy Monday!

The first picture is perfect. I lvoe to cook in outdoor ovens and then have everyone sit outside to munch and drink. It’s the perfect place to do it.
