Flower Bed Update

Here are my semi-finished flower beds. I won't plant the trees I want in the until fall.

I will replace the potted Tulip tree with another tree that will stay green all year. Maybe a Drawf Magnolia since it won't lose its leaves in the winter.
I think I want to add two very small and short Japanese Maples to this front bed.

Our garden bed. everything is growing so far. I also have lettuce and herbs in pots on the back patio that are doing well. 
If you look at the house in the background you can see that we are waiting to pour concrete in the drive and a walkway. Once that is done and I get enough rocks racked out of the front I will plant white azailas in front of the garage windows and try to see some grass. It's just been a process, but I'm okay with waiting. 

I finally got this table set from my grandmother' house and purchased these cushions for the chairs. They match the red cushions one the lounge chairs.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever!  They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things.  I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious! 

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.
