Oh my, that's lovely! What a wonderful job you did -- did you and DH do that all yourselves? That must be pretty at night too.

I like your planters as well. Is that a citrus tree, in the second photo?

I'm amazed, when are you coming here to do my yard???? LOL

That courtyard turned out fabulous! Love the planters and plant selections too!

Wow that's beautiful. I love the color you picked and yes, those planters are a perfect match to the tiles.

It may have taken you a year and a half, but it was worth it! Paul James will be jealous.

Patty Louise, Enjoyed seeing your farm house. What a joy to live in the country. I am in Norfolk, VA. I have two brothers who live on the Pamunkey Indian Resevation near West Point, VA. I love to visit them. The air is soooo fresh and clean, the birds singing, no sound of cars roaring by, no bright lights----it is so peaceful. I get rid of my stress there.

That is pretty cool looking.

The past few years, when I meet people with busted concrete, I suggest that they call someone who can replace a driveway or patio with pavers.

The looks so "authentic" and elegant.

Nice blue pot.

Beautiful....I remember when you started this.the blue pots
and flower's are so fitting..Congrats WELL DONE.........

I love what you've done with the place!

The end result is beautiful! And isn't it just that much better that you can say (with pride) that you did it yourself!

I enjoyed your photo album, too. Loved seeing how it all came together...

Hey alady!!! Just Beautiful lady!! I know the cost of pavers having the cobblestone pavers front & back myself...You have quite the investment there!!! You must be so thrilled...Who did the work for you? Love your plants...up north here I have to take them inside for the winter months or sometimes they don't hold up...

MayLing, Howdy neighbor! & thank you so much! You are right - it doesn't get better than the country!

It is just stunning. I love the planters too and look at that Lemon tree--oh, I'm jealous. I love the nice clean look of it all. It looks like a never ending project with things changing each season and something new in every planter. Have fun!!

Carolyn,you and your dh did a fantastic job on your courtyard.It looks like a picture in a quality magazine.You have something to be proud of for many years to come.I know you will both enjoy the fruits of your hard labor.

oh my word! I remember when this was a work in progress too... and the finished result is just magnificent! Wow... are you going to submit pics to any mags? Definitely worthy of being in print... what's the plant in the blue pot? Some type of bamboo??? Beautiful, beautiful courtyard...
