An Urban Oasis

We were in the big city this weekend

We went to Dallas to celebrate

my mother-in-law's 80th birthday!

The family gathered at my

brother-in-law's home

for this fun family time

He is one of the most

amazing gardeners I know

and I just have to share

his beautiful Urban Oasis

with all of you in blog land!



Lovely area to sit and relax





A small water feature - can you see the fish?



He has great yard art

Jerusalem Sage



Aren't these gorgeous!!!  Can you see the butterfly??

Every where you look there are beautiful flowers

Someone is enjoying a quiet moment by the pool

While we were enjoying this

beautiful garden,

the big city, with all it's noise

and hustle and bustle

was just minutes away

It truly is an urban oasis!!

It was nice to visit Dallas

 and spend time with family

but I couldn't wait to get back

to my quiet, simple country life.

Every Little Birdie says -

I am now a country girl and I love it!

What did you do this weekend????
