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

Thanks everyone, I was trying to get it pretty for mothers day but nobody wanted to go out there since it was so hot, not even to swim. Oh well its ready for summer, in fact I may go jump in right now, here in the sacramento area its around 96 degrees....yuck!

BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!

What a beautiful backyard!!! I wish it was warm enough here to have a pool too :D .
You have PALM trees in your yard, wow!!!
