For the past two days, I have spent most of my waking hours in the garden. My hands ache from all the weed pulling and edging around the beds. There are 10 flower beds in my yard, so the chores never end! I am hosting a partial tour of the garden today (with more to come tomorrow). Please join me as I point out the highlights and current attractions of my garden.
Here we are outside the front fence looking in.
Celi is waiting at the gate. She just loves company (sometimes she loves them too much)! A grapevine cut from the woods forms an arbor over the gate. I recently planted a pink and white clematis to twine around it.
Tea light lanterns hang from the grapevine to welcome guests at night. More lanterns grace the porch.
The fledgling clematis is beginning its ascent.
A close up of the planting in the front bed shows daylilies, roses, irises, and ribbon grass.
Peach and burgundy irises and chives are reaching their peak. Also visible are shasta daisies, blazing stars, daylilies, and some self-seeded virginia creeper. 
Detail of bearded iris.
View from the front porch. Beyond the little drive lies an acre lawn and our woods, barely visible in the background.

The east side patio. A sprawling ash holds court behind the sitting area. Winter creeper and virginia creeper cover its dual trunks.
Random pretties upon an rustic table.
From the back yard looking toward the sitting area. The area is bordered by a semicircle of yew bushes that one day will grow together to enclose the space. It will be my very own secret garden!
Another clematis in the back yard. This color is just gorgeous and the blooms are several inches wide.
Well ladies, that is it for today. I hope you have enjoyed the tour. Stay tuned for more from my garden, coming soon.
