Saturday morning started bright and early with us quickly swallowing our breakfast to head out to a stranger's yard. The Man and I were volunteers for the annual Decatur Garden tour. If you are local and happened to have gone we were at garden #2. Nicest folks live there! They brought us out coffee and muffins then tried to feed us Bar-B-Q for lunch. We sat on the front porch of their 1929 Bungalow welcoming visitors to their garden. My favorite part of their garden was this huge black Tupelo Tree.
Another front porch I loved. This is seriously Southern with all the hanging plants. I swear I thought I was in the pages of Southern Living Magazine! There was even a sleepy cat on the front porch steps.
The Man and I mainly go to get ideas on what to do and what cool plants are out there.
But have to say I really liked the idea of having a sitting parlor in the backyard.
One of the gardens was a front yard converted into a a lovely vegetable garden. They had melons all over the place along with fall veggies like kale, spinach, lettuces, etc.
Then there was this bird bath nestled in plants on the side of house.
The Man and I are having dreams of maybe one day being on the tour.
