~ January Whites In The Garden ~

Happy Monday friends it's been a pretty nice Winter so far but we have not been getting much rain. So now I must water by hand which can be a little work but fun. That way I visit every plant to see how they are doing. This is Tallulah relaxing in the garden on a January late afternoon just as the sunset begins to set on the hill behind our home.




Well the only things that might resemble snow for us are the white painted antique garden furniture, and of course Tallulah and her sister Missy. Missy was to shy to have her picture taken today. lol




Most of theses garden treasures pictured here on this post today. Were found at various flea markets and shops for really good prices. Sometimes when a treasure is to heavy and the dealer doesn't want to load it up to their truck or van and drag it back home. That is the best time to ask for a better price. And this will most likely work in your favor. Lol




The painted whites on the cast iron and cement statuary seem to work well with the different shades of green in the garden.




This urn below has some Spanish moss that has survived the cold weather so far. I guess it is safe from the frost since the branches of the trees shield it from the frost.


















This little girl who watches over the Venetian garden in the other side of the back garden is waiting patiently for the blooms of Spring to awaken so she can enjoy the aroma of the roses and cat mint. Thank You so much for stopping by today and would like to wish you a blessed and beautiful week ahead...........Tallulah Today I will be linking up to ~ Common Ground ~ and also for ~ French Country Cottage ~ and last but least ~ Show And Tell Friday~

  1. I love your whites, they do bring a sense of calm to a garden I think.
    We are having a mild winter here in SW England so far.
    I spent yesterday in the garden pruning the Clematis and dreaming of spring. The first snowdrops are coming up, what a delight.
    Hugs and smiles,Angela.

  5. Looks like those blooms will be here before they are supposed to be. My gardens are acting like it's spring already. Your baby there is so pretty.

  6. We have been getting rain and expect some more - the rain that hit Texas and is in Alabama now. I laughed when I stepped out with the dogs to get mail this morning - it is warmer outdoors than in our house - this old house love to hold in the cold! Love your garden seating and urns as well as the statues - I love them white - it makes the garden seem ethereal to me!
    Tallulah is precious! Thanks so much for sharing with A Return to Loveliness!
    God Bless,
    Kathy
