Mother Earth's Garden

Fall is a great time to plan your outdoor spaces for next year. If you’d like to create an outdoor living space now is a great time to move walkways, create patios and decks, or map out ponds.

We’ve been planning a new patio for a couple years now, but we still haven’t taken the plunge. I do have a plan, and I know exactly what I want. It’s just a matter of getting it started.
I’ve always thought an outdoor kitchen would be fun. We love to grill out during the summer, so I think an outdoor kitchen would make everything …read more

My garden is my favorite place to go relax. I love to sit in a quiet spot in or near the garden and unwind if I’ve had a big, or stressful day.

It doesn’t take much to set up a quiet spot in the garden. You already have nature all around you to help you relax.

What can you add to your garden to help make it your relaxation oasis?

My favorite spot in the garden is a comfortable bench.
A hammock makes a nice place to take a rest in the garden. I think I’d love one of those hammock …read more

I’ve always wanted to design a waterfall terrace in one of our rolling hills. I love this video from HGTV. It’s loaded with how to ideas. I love how they incorporated it into an outside Zen filled living area.
We don’t have any hills quite that steep, but I would love to put in a patio, and outdoor living area with a water feature.

I could get into relaxing in this outdoor retreat! With the sounds of the water, and the wooded hillside. Bliss.

This month the Lifestyles Network is celebrating the view from our windows. I have to say I am blessed with wonderful views from my windows on all sides, especially in the summer when the tree line along the creek hides all of our neighbors from view.
Check out some of my wonderful views.
Here’s the view from my front porch. I love this view, I enjoy reading and working on the front porch in the spring, summer, and early fall just so I can take in the wonderful view.

Here’s the view from my back windows, and from the kitchen …read more

  This weekend in my travels I had the opportunity to visit a fairy garden. I didn’t see any fairies (they were too elusive), but I got some photos of their homes, and the garden where they scamper about.
I checked out their homes, and looked for tiny fairy footprints.
I would love to create a fairy garden of my own, so I had a great time and got tons of photos.

I think I have a few ideas now for my own fairy garden.

I’ve always wanted to get a sundial for my garden, but I’ve always thought of them as being too pricey. I found a couple that I really like for under $100. I may have to get one this year.
One of my favorites is this Fisherboy Sundial Birdbath Combination, I think he’s really cute. But would I take care of it, and keep it cleaned out? Or would it be a mosquito haven?
I’m also considering this Sun & Moon Sundial. I just can’t decide which one would look better in my garden. This one still has a cheap …read more
