Garden Trellis

Back in the summer I wrote about wanting a little garden trellis out in our side yard. It's pretty bare out there. So I wanted something that I could hang flowering baskets from and also maybe run some grape vines up.

Well, I drew it out and my wonderful husband went to work.
Below is some pics from the build.

Here's the place I picked out where I wanted the trellis.

And here's a pic after about an hour or so of getting started.

And here's the pic below of it almost finished. That's me and my hubby, Greg. I just love that he can basically build whatever I draw out! It gives him a challenge I think. lol. Whatever it is, I'm just glad he enjoys doing my lil projects. Cause without him, I couldn't get it done.
And ta~da! Here's the finished project. Nothing fancy or perfect, but it's exactly what I wanted. And I am sooo happy to have it done!

It's been a few months now, since it was built and I did make the most of it through the summer. I filled it with flowers, hummingbird feeders and planted some grape vines up the back. I hope they will climb in a few years and completely cover the top.

Since it's December now, I just recently went out and strung holiday lights all over it. Here it is below. lol. It's first Christmas~

Magnolia Tree in Full Bloom

Magnolia trees are simply beautiful flowering trees with an aroma like no other. They are named after Pierre Magnol who was a french botanist.

I got a few good shots of my Magnolia Tree this year when it was in full bloom.The fragrance is so hard to explain because it smells so good. I would describe it as a vintage perfume filling the air. It's a soft aroma but yet very noticeable. So hard to describe if you've never smelled it. And the blooms... oh the blooms are just big and beautiful!



Below are me and my niece Emma headed for the hammock under the Magnolia tree. It's our favorite place in the summer. And when fall rolls around, we still head out there to swing we just take a blanket with us.


Have you ever seen a Magnolia tree in full bloom?
