so NOT fair!!!!! you are bragging!! hahah!!! - you have a yard others just dream about. one day I'm going to move into that guest house, after I kick your mom out that is. would she care? I'm terrible. ok I won't kick her out, ill ask her to leave, nicely. seriously I think you have the prettiest yard of all the bloggers.
This is not bad at all. In fact, if you never mentioned macheting the garden, I'd have thought you only went on to compose a beautiful tropical bouquet!
Beautiful yard waste! I miss being able to go outside and get these! Don't you just LOVE Coastal Living! I'm gathering ideas for my dollhouse here, there and everywhere!
Gorgeous! I'd love to grow flowers like that here, but I don't think I'd like the heat and humidity that's required. And I really love the large glass bottle in the background of one of your photos!
Gorgeous! The only way I can 'not' be green with envy is to imagine that I see a little lizard on one of the leaves.....ahh- there, I feel much better now! And yes- cheap is good, and free is better!
And I love the room the flowers are in... I want to see more of the room, please!! Love the hats on the wall; love the bookcase; love the map!! More, please!!
Oh you have all my favorite elements going on here... gorgeous yard clippings (warts as you say hehe) straw hats, maps and Henry David Thoreau - what a PERFECT start to my day! I want to see more of your dreamy house! xo Isa
Lovely blog! While the flowers are wonderful, I enjoyed glimpses of what was behind . . . like the hats hanging on the wall, and the map and globes. cheers, -susan
Thanks y'all!! And trust me...I am NOT bragging. This is just a teensy bit of the machete bounty (and PLENTY of the bounty is yellow or dried...or full of prickers...or ANTS. BULLANTS.Oy)
But I love bringing it in to enjoy nature's grace!
...Palms and phillies last for weeks. As do gingers and heliconias. Hibiscus don't survive the day. Pansies.
Behind the flowers is the family room...all sorts of family livin' going on here. Really. All sorts.
It is nice to have a machete. I've had one that I purchased in Mexico years ago. Really helps with the tough palms. Love your photos with the pale blue map in the background. Just beautiful! Cheers! Ry
Hi, I'm just gonna sit here, under the map, after I take a good book outta the cabinet, and gaze in wonderment at what a machete can do to add flair to an already marvelous room. JUST LOVELY! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Oh, it's gorgeous. Every time I come to your blog, I sigh and wonder why I'm living HERE and not THERE where everything is so beautiful. Someday... :-)
DuDE! Do you have enough people reading this blog or what?! lol! Well, it just goes to show you that good pictures and lovely sentiments will get you everywhere! :) I love the third pic down...with the bookcase and hats blurred in the background. I also wish I could claim some of your yard waste to throw in a vase on MY table! :)

I love this kind of "floral arrangement"! In fact I've spotted them in major design magazines, too... ;)
Exquisite. TTFN ~ Marydon
An arrangement, hardly. But oh the joy of bringing in armfuls of macheted "strays"!
A collection in every room. Weeds look beautiful in a vase, too! Really!!
You just said you "machete" your backyard. Now I KNOW we live in different areas!
P.S. I LOVED your commment today! I read it to my husband, and we both laughed! Too cute!

I am inspired to go to the flower market and turn my dry desert weather condo into an urban tropical paradise!! Thanks!

I'm not even sure what this is, but I love the clippings! I also love that bookcase in the background--looks like a room filled with treasures!
