Secret Garden

I’d like to tell ya’ll about my friend Betty Jo.      This is the wonderful lady that conducted my mom’s estate sale and what started out as a “business arrangement” has evolved into a friendship.     Once you meet this woman, you just can’t help loving her and her sweet family.      Just recently I found out she is also has a green thumb and when you see her yard, I think you will agree.

Betty Jo lives in a charming historic neighborhood.     Most everyone in this area has lived in their homes 50+ years and take great pride in their homes and yards.    

Betty Jo loves red as reflected in her front door.    Don’t you just love her classic cottage?     She plans on painting her shutters, porch ceiling, porch floor and adding a large lantern overhead.     I can’t wait to see it all!

Here’s the area up near the house.     Instead of me doing a running commentary, please enjoy all these pictures.

 

  

  

Betty Jo and her sister laid this brick pathway all by themselves!

 

 

Can you believe the size of these hostas?!

 

 

   

    

 

 

   

 

    

I fell in love with her yard and I can’t remember ever seeing anything quite like it except maybe in a magazine.      I hope you all enjoyed touring Betty Jo’s secret garden as much as I did.
