Well...just like the above says...courtyard in progress!!! Hubby has finally let me create the courtyard I have always wanted! It started out with just a concrete slab which was a little sad looking so we called in dad's friend to give us a helping hand and within 15mins we had a nice square cut out to the center. Now, what do you think we are going to put in here???
Jake even gave daddy Cane a helping hand with the jackhammering...sure looks like Jake is enjoying himself! lol. It was pretty hard getting him away from it once the job was finished.
Off we went to our favourite nursery where I found a beautiful antique water fountain...Please Cane...can we get it??? Its just perfect for our courtyard!!! Jake said something is getting delivered this weekend for Mothers Day and it is big, white and rusty, lol. What do you think it could be??? Could it be this???
Some large planters for along the back fence...not sure what climber to use yet as we have allot of shade in here...any ideas?
Up to my dads house, oh...I think these tiles would go lovely in my courtyard as well!
And a stop at the Daffodil Farm around the corner from Dad's where I bought a bag of pearl daffodils & blue bells in shades of blue, pink and white. Cant wait to get them planted!
We still have lots to do as you can see but its all very exciting and keeping us busy as you can imagine. I hope to share more photos soon with you all.
P.S. Jake and I stopped by Rupertswood Mansion where Cane and I were married and took some beautiful photos that I will post the next few days so do pop by soon. xo

Ooh Siobhan,
How great and what a beautiful Mother's Day gift - you lucky lady!
I can't wait to see it all when it's finished.
I love Morning Glories and Moon Flowers, but I'm not sure if those climbers do well in shade - the Moon Flowers smell wonderful at night though!
Talk to you soon - I've been so busy working! I will have to email you in the next day or so ;)

Hi Siobhan,
I was just thinking the other day that I would love to incorporate a fountain somewhere in my yard. We are probably going to do a patio this summer and I would love to have one. I hope you get yours and I can't wait to see your new courtyard.
Hugs,
LeAnn :)
Your courtyard is going to look gorgeous Siobhan, we have a fountain a bit like that white one and I have it on when I am home as much as possible. I just LOVE the sound of it!

Hhmmm...I wonder what your surprise gift will be tomorrow morning? Do you think you gave enough hints? I hope so because that fountain is going to look fantastic in your courtyard.
Have a great Mother's Day.
