...Serenity ...

Several months before I married the love of my life, my parents bought a new home!! 
The home came with a lot of land and my mom was just the person to make that land beautiful!! 
For the last several summers I have wanted to document the beautiful-ness that my parents 
have cultivated with a lot of hard work and dedication!

We spend a lot of time in my parents back yard, 
whether it be sitting around the fire pit with our nephews and nieces, 
relaxing in the hammock, or sitting around the picnic table playing cards ... 
whatever the activity may be, their backyard is the perfect place to escape and to find a little serenity ...

As you can see, they have worked hard and these photos are just the tip of the iceberg! 
Maybe someday my mom's green thumb will rub off on me - but for now, 
I'll just live vicariously through hers!!

Keep Smiling,

Thanks Clar. The yard is being trashed right now, I'm ripping out gardens and starting with some fresh ideas. You know me, love to create. Hugs, ma
