    Looks like such a relaxing place with a beautiful view!
It really is, pink, thanks. I really have to work on how to get a nice picture. I tried going from different angles but I'm not doing it justice. When you use your new camera, give me hints.

    BTW, peonies are one of my most favorite flowers....
It seems everyone heard of peonies except me. I need to study names of flowers it seems. I do know I like stargazer lilies. We have bought bouquets for our mom and spent time picking flowers like that and birds of paradise and more.

Thanks RosesLady, it really is. We love our patio. It's so comfortable and if I could take a good picture, you'd see how lovely it truly is. My sister told them what she wanted and they did it to her specifications. My sister has great taste.

It was done by professional landscapers but my sister told them exactly what she wanted. I'm glad you like the pics. Thanks Liszt.

Thanks bijou. I think what you're referring to is the position of our natural gas fireplace.

The third plant betweeen the two peonies is a native (hardy) geranium also commonly called the cranesbill.

Thanks very much, bondjam33. Welcome to my blog. I appreciate that information. I have a lot to learn about the different flowers that exist.

A peaceful lace to relax and read or listen to music.
