I love your backyard!!

Your pool is like a dream come true! How wonderful, and lucky you.

Thank you Aspen and Misty...it has been hot and I have enjoyed it this week, especially after all the yard work.

I fell onto a stump yesterday on the side of the house, trying to remove it and scraped up my leg real bad...won't be showing that off in a bathing suit anytime soon :D

That is beautiful!!! Looks fantastic. Can't wait for everything to grow ....... make sure you take pics for us later in the year .... :D

=) Your yard looks really nice! I love the flowers. Do Bubba & Casey enjoy the pool?

Looks great! Your pool is beautiful. I love the water trampoline, I think thats what it is. Our pool is to small to get one. Anyway, the plants are beautiful and it looks like a dream! I love Casey. Pretty pretty girl :)

WOW!!!! What a beautiful yard and pool! You have so much privacy too! :) If I had that pool I would never be inside the house. I would be a shriveled up prune. :p The picture of Casey made me catch my breath. She looks so much like my daughter's RB dog, Dale. I would love to see more pictures of your beautiful yard and and puppers. *hint* *hint* ;) :p

It looks mahvelous!! Your yard is like an oasis. Very inviting. You're doing a great job on it. Be careful though. You want to be able to enjoy it ;) Please.....more pics of Casey :) She's a living doll :D

Your backyard looks so peaceful and inviting!! I can just picture a barbeque and a group of friends :)

The wood bark really makes the gardens look clean, neat and finished.

What a lovely yard you have!

Thanks everyone!

Erica, Neither of the pups enjoy the pool, I take them both in a few times a year just to show them how to get out, they are never in the yard unsupervised I just figure its good to know.

Pam, I always thought Casey looked a lot like Dale, that is part of the reason why I was so devastated when he passed away. I always had a soft spot for him.

Maltese Love, Actually its not one of those pool trampolines although it is probably almost as large!

Debbie, I think the bark really makes a difference too, I try to replace it every few years.

Its funny because I have spent so much time out there that the house is a disaster right now so yes I do want to stay out there!

Great work on your part. :) The yard, flowers and pool are all just
beautiful.Can't wait for the flowers to climb up the trellis.Everything
looks so wonderful. :)

Looking good! Looks like a perfect place to spend a summer's day :).

Your yard is beautiful!! That's what I want MY yard to look like one day! :p
