I really like what you have done and may add a few of your ideas as I try to create something this fall. Have a super weekend!

It looks so cool and relaxing under that great tree. Container gardens are every bit as prwweetty as in ground, have extra something to look kat in the pots.<br />One of my nieces lives in Tucson where she has quite alot odf container plants that are doing beautifully. We live in western CO now where our ground is not good to plant in with so much alkali so we have several container plants. We live few miles west of Grand Junction, out in rural area as e don't care to live in town.<br />I lived in Tucson for 20 yrs. so know how hot it gets.<br /> Were going to move back to Tucson about 3-4 yrs. ago but our mtg. was upside down at time. We'd been looking at many reasonably priced homes in Tucson online that were very nice. Now hubs says no more moving, we're too old. <br />Besides my niece, brother/sis live there and my very best friend. I was there in 2008 for our 50th. high school reunion.<br />Enjoy your delightful garden with your sweet pups, happy weekendsrpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-707230969781924931.post-18248144198467657362016-06-09T14:02:21.859-07:002016-06-09T14:02:21.859-07:00Such a wonderful and cool looking place!

I see some sort of colored gravel. Do you also have stones or bricks or something? It is all very soothing and I too want at least 1 water feature so I can hear the trickling of water. We've had 105 degree days here in Central Oregon and I wish I had a nice tree to shade our future patio spot! I like the idea of the cool colors for the planter pots and the silver of the galvanized tubs really adds to the cool feel. This really inspires me to get busy with our gravel pit!Marilyn McLeod @ Pink Paper Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166022624714254716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-707230969781924931.post-62963351244413261292016-06-09T13:13:35.337-07:002016-06-09T13:13:35.337-07:00Oh Karen....I, too, am an Arizona gardner.
