I am always "amused" at the differences between men and women. We see one thing and they see something TOTALLY different!I have been working on my backyard "garden"...it's an area off my patio with a lot of plants and just stuff! Last year, my friend and I put a little pond in and I have been planting plants all Spring to make it look like an "English Garden" type thingy!
{Don't you love my wording}
Yesterday, I cleaned out my pond and threw in some bleach which in turn made "bubbles". One of the pool guys looked at it and asked if that was some type of "whirlpool". Whirlpool??? Ahh...maybe for your feet!
This morning, I brought my husband out to look at all I have done with the path and plants...he looks at it and says " Why is that path so small?"..."Is it for a midget or an elf?" NO! It's just for looks...you are not exercising on it...it's just a little pebble path throughout the garden.
AHHAAAaaahhhh! Anyhow..here are some pictures of my "bubble whirlpool..oops I mean pond" and my midget garden pathway...enjoy...imagine outside the "box", pretty please!

your garden is so lovely
Love your garden and bubble pond. Everything is so green and spring like.
MEN, what do they know!! Well, really, alot.
Yes, I've discovered that men just don't get those little touches in the garden that we women love:) Yours is very lovely and charming!
the sandy toes are to cute..i had to visit!
The garden is charming.
So is the pool. We had one in our last house and it was my children’s childhood too. We all still miss it very much. Enjoy!
I think its beautiful... absolutely beautiful.
I think your garden is gorgeous! It looks so serene. Your pond incident reminded me of the time my husband used soap to clean our water fountain. The little gargoyle spit out soap suds for hours. It was too funny!
That is gorgeous!
Your garden is just beautiful. It looks so peaceful and I relax just looking at it!
You did a fantastic job. I just love it..just perfect!
I'm sorry to say, but men just don't get it! I live with one, too! :) I happen to think your garden, path, and pond look beautiful! I could sit out there all day long without a care in the world!
Cute garden! It's so lovely & green & lush!
What a beautiful yard you have. And a pool...not fair!
Your garden looks beautiful!! So pretty and peaceful! I love it! And yes, my Hubby doesn't always "get" my vision either! hehe!!
It's very pretty. I love the "whirlpool". And the path...it's for the gnomes! *smiles*

wow, it's looking great!
i think you must be a really hard worker - i've discovered that about you! :)
I LOVE it! How beautiful and relaxing to look at!
Your garden is lovely. You should tell your husband that the midgit path is so that when you retreat down it to soak your feet in the bubbling pond, you will not be bothered by giants and ogres!
It's beautiful, very peaceful!
Looks lovely and I love all the plants, makes it feel so peaceful.
I love your garden bubble pond and perfect size path!!! :)

it is adorable! ...men don't know anything about that stuff!
That is the most beautiful place-ever~!
I am so impressed!!!
LOL. "Is it for an elf?" Maybe over in the Pond...
What a beautiful garden you've created! Great job!
I want to take a mini stroll on your mini path and sit by your bubbly pond. Pretty please. ;D It's beautiful!
What is with them?? My husband thought my stones were too far apart for my path. Dude, if you're going from point A to point B, you don't have to cut through the flower bed. Geez.
Popping in from sits :)
I love this garden and all of your nice little touches! I learned a while back not to ask hubby's opinion on some things. I had made a quilt that came out pretty sharp and he commented about maybe the colors not being right - this from a man who is color challenged to begin with.
In matters of our design work on anything, we need to the opinion of other women!
You did a wonderful job! Enjoy sitting amongst your creation all summer long!
Gorgeous - makes me want to be sitting right there looking at the beauty of God's creation.
So beautiful! You've done a great job. :)
Men! (rolling my eyes) Your garden is nice.
Gorgeous! Men need to understand it's all about how pretty it looks, not how it's going to be used!
I love that sign. Which store did you get it from? It would look great in my Mom's garden. You garden is beautiful.
Rofl....too cute....I know what you mean...I told my dh tonight...NOT to use my NICE pretty kitchen towels....they are just for looks. cherry
Can I hire you to come do my landscaping?? What a gorgeous, wonderful spot!
I LOVE your english garden thingy!
So beautiful and relaxing!:)
Your husbands comment cracks me up because I could hear that coming from my guy...doesn't really get it sometimes:)
that's so nice~how beautiful.
Lovely!!! We start our garden this weekend - my Mom's day present.
Love what you have created in your yard. Such a peaceful retreat. And a pool? You lucky lady!
