SO... Son #1 spent some time
working on another rock room in
front of the Grandma B house
Need some more or different furniture…but a great start…
So…that’s a little happening at our casa…
But...personally... I LOVE perusing the work of a real tropical artist
Like...let's say...

His work and images, below
This chaise lounge below…Well...I want.

And if lime green and turquoise are not the most adorable tropical prom couple…
Who is?

Absolutely beautiful! You have your very own little piece of paradise.
Linda your tropical garden looks so lush and colorful I can only imagine how beautiful it is in person. You will have to enjoy it for all of us. Its a job but someone has to do it, no one better than you. Enjoy the process, Kathysue
Linda, I`m starting thinking about my new home and all that I want is to have a garden like yours. I`m in love with your flowers and everything else.
Kisses,
Cris Turek
Sigh. That's just what I needed as I sit here listening to the radio and the stupid man saying it may SNOW tomorrow! May 9 was the last frost date on record. Ever. And now these jerks are talking about snow tomorrow!
Your garden is so beautiful! I love the little rooms you are creating!
I can just imagine sitting in your backyard on a warm summer evening, listening to the sounds and enjoying a glass of something cool. Delicious all around! Janell
You guys are the cats pj's! We are still working out of a big ole mess...and will be for awhile I imagine.
Melissa...SNOW?? Say it ain't so!
Love love love your personal tropicals....would love to sit a spell....can you say margarita?
looks heavenly and enviable ...
lucky you ... the midwest is suck-y right now
Your landscape is so very different from my own. So tropical, so amazing! Is that jasmine in bloom? I can almost smell that delicious fragrance from here.
Hi Linda,
Your garden looks no worse for wear after this horrible winter...lookin' good, my friend!
Hugs,
Becky

OH.M.G as my daughter loves to put it ,dude....words fail me..this has totally inspired me to get my ass in gear with my garden and if the Tropical look I'm working on (I know,I know! I'm in London And You're in "Hawaii") but if it gets anywhere close to yours ,(even in the minutest details) I'd be the happiest person on Earth! LOVE.IT.
Tropical artist...I love that. All the foilage and lushness just calls to me. So beautiful:) Guess what?? Next week Honey and I will be in your neck of the woods. We are flying down to Miami...he's speaking at a conference. So I'll get my first Florida fix. I can't wait:)
Just beautiful *sighs* smiles and takes a bow.
you are a tropical artist too--extraordinaire.
Oh Linda! Your yard is beautiful! I am suffering from acute garden envy. Your very own paradise. **heavy sigh** Deb
What a tropical delight! So inviting!
I absolutely love your tropical garden. Your garden is very beautiful and I love the little seating areas you are creating.

This garden is spectacular! I don't even know where to begin - it's fantastic! Not gonna lie - I am totally envious!
Oh how I needed this diversion:)
It has been freezing cold and cloudy here:(
Everything looks FABULOUS!
After Maine ,this looks so LUSH.. I could stay there for a year. I miss the florida plants and
the weather in Feb.Mar.April.
One May I was decorating the tables for a party in the pool area and I became so sick from the heat. Hope you have a nice Summer,
Maybe the heat won't be so bad.

Ahhhhh, paradise! How gorgeous is your yard! I can almost feel the breeze!
Love the new header Linda...your garden is sooo green with so many textures...I bet there is a lot of work to do to keep it beautiful...but someone has to do it!! Its a little slice of heaven though....
What a heaven you have. I love how colorful it is.
Fun visual post.
love the plants - colors, textures, size but I'm so very charmed by the tiles in the ground under the little seating moments - and the peek about sculpture
lovely
