Backyard Paradise

Y’all, Phyllis from Around the Househas been holding out on us! I’ve got the goods on her now, though. Phyllis spends her days blogging in a beautiful paradise and it’s right in her own backyard. Come along for a little garden tour…and try to not be as jealous as I am! 😉

What a gorgeous way to use a fountain!

Let’s go for a stroll in her lush garden.

This waterfall must sound heavenly on a hot summer’s day.

So pretty! Now, I’ve been saving the best for last. You might want to sit down for this!

Pool party at Phyllis’s house! Phyllis, you don’t mind if a few thousand of your closest blogging friends drop by for a dip, do you? 😉 Now I ask, would you ever leave this spot? This is where you’d find me all the live long day. 🙂

Phyllis, thanks for sharing your beautiful backyard paradise! Tina =^..^= is living the good life!

See you this evening for Tablescape Thursday.

    Who needs a house with a yard like that? I don't think that I would get much done except for lazing about that pool. Just beautiful!

    I've missed Phyllis' posts, Susan! I do hope she is enjoying her beautiful yard and garden though. Love your new blog header, too!

  3. Oh my gosh! That's the most beautiful pool area ever!!! I love it! I could live there all day long! Her gardens are absolutely gorgeous and I especially love all the water features. thank you so much for sharing it with us.

  4. Susan, thanks for sharing the garden photos. As one who is spending time with my garden these days, it's fun to see what another has done. I love seeing white flowers in a garden and add more and more to my space each season. ~ Sarah

    Susan,
    Truly a beautifu garden, indeed. Sorry, I am an indoors lady and would prefer to sit near a huge window or patio door to blog! By the way, your picket fence in the Spring header and bicycle took me home again in my mind. Thank you for the lovely memory!
    Fondly,
    Pat

    Hugs,

    Sending a sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm. What a beautiful setting – it must surely reflect Phyllis's elegance and welcoming personality! Thank you for sharing, and oh, that plant in the fountain is definitely a great idea! Is that stephanotis (sp) in the fountain? Ciao, bella!

  10. Beautiful! She must live in a warm climate!

    JEALOUSY! Oh goodness! That is simply heaven

  14. laxsupermom says

    Gorgeous gardens! I see all the lovely garden pics everyone's been sharing, and it just makes me want to run out and plop a "For Sale" sign in my front yard. There was a gorgeous home for sale around the corner from my parents the last time we were down visiting, but hubs says he could never live someplace so hot.(They're in Atlanta, too)

    Thanks for sharing Tina's garden with us

  15. From one Phyllis to another Phyllis, I could move right in and enjoy your gardens and beyond gorgeous pool area! It is breath-takingly beautiful!…..I am happy for you.

  16. oooo weeeee. That back yard is "stylin." Thanks for sharing, Susan. Phyllis is one lucky lady. Susan

  19. Jealous! I don't even have a decent yard for a garden. That's an absolutely stunning garden. I want to live in her backyard. 😛

  20. Wow!, Phyllis, why have you been hiding this from us? And I thought our backyard is lush. But ours is nothing compared to this. I blogged about our pool too, our first pool party for this yaer. Come and see when you have a chance! It'll be my Tablescape Th. contribution too….Christine

  21. Yes. Jealous…of the sun & green! It's cold, rainy & brown here.

  22. This is a dream house! Caroline

  23. Alycia Nichols says
