New 'My Garden' page

In celebration of my three month blog anniversary I've added a new blog page called 'My Garden' that gives a bit of an overview of my garden. The property is a 1950s 'modern' farmhouse. Not sure it looks very Irish. I'm lucky to be surrounded by grazing pastures and my neighbours are mostly beef cattle. My biggest challenge is weeds. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

    LOVE the new My Garden page -- but I'm even more jealous now. Not only do you have a nicer (and bigger) garden than me, but you also have two gorgeous cats! The photo of Jammie (a CAT), admiring the DOGwood is supremely ironic!

    The Dog wood really comes into its own in winter.I am afraid weeds come up everywhere no matter where or how you garden!

    I love this picture of "Peanut Butter" (my name for your cat) with her head going through the red stems! Nice picture!

    I loved your new My Garden page. The photos are beautiful. The snow ones are sooooo pretty! I haven't seen snow in years.
