 |
| I love the pergola, draped with vines... |
 |
| MORE containers, and elegant borders... |

Finishing up with this view of some garden art--the Sullivans RULE!Wyoming is fortunate to have had the service of the Sullivans for many years, and our country was served nobly when they were Ambassadors to Ireland during the Clinton Administration. One of my favorite things about Colorado is having Wyoming nearby--and the Sullivans at its very heart. |
This is a very nice garden. I like the Clematis. Clematis texensis bloomed in my garden for the first time this year. I am hoping the hummingbirds use it.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, you also have one of one of my state's former governors nearby, but I doubt that is one of your favorite things. :)

I would not mention my friends in Wyoming in the same sentence as Rod Blagojevich, James! We have a real rogues gallery in our Canyon City prisons, along with the Unabomber and Manson and all sorts of low life. Not something I'm particularly proud of. Now Sweden closing their last prison this year--THAT'S something to be proud of. It's hard to believe that so many of your governors have had prison sentences!
ReplyDeleteI often joke that prison is our state's retirement plan for governors. What is really hard to believe is how high taxes are to pay for all the crooked stuff that happened. I didn't even vote for the guy and I'm still paying for his "pay to play" politics. The people I feel the most for over this entire ordeal is his wife and little girls. They are the ones who lost the most over their father’s character flaws.

Sounds like nice people can't help having a beautiful garden! The details are great and I like the special touches like the coyote arbor and brick/concrete/granite paving.... and I love the house. It all looks so well cared for.

This place is amazing, the imagination of everything is priceless. Great job I so love so much of it there is no one thing to pick out above the others. My mom is 83 and she does things like this in Kentucky she is also creative with her yard. Love this place.
