The Back Yard

Let's escape the wet, dreary weather of the past couple of days

for just a few moments,

and take a little trek down to the Sunshine State,

...to visit The Back Yard.

Mr. Ramblings and I took a short trip to Florida last month,

and stumbled upon The Barn,

a fascinating complex consisting of an antique store, two intriguing gift shops,
 restaurant, and a plant nursery.

The post highlighting the gift shops can be seen {here}.

You may imagine you're dab smack in the middle a tree house, 

while browsing through the shop part of The Back Yard,

where a huge tree grows right through the center!

The grounds are covered with gorgeous flowers, unique cement statues,
a variety of planters, and metal decorative pieces.

I adore the foxglove pictured below,
...one plant I've always wanted to try but never have.

Shroomyz...

are they not precious, {below}!

I love Savannah Girl Statues.

One day I may break down and buy one.  :)

I came so close to bringing home a smaller version of the sweet girl,

which I'd never seen this size before.

I sure regret leaving her behind!

FYI...

Did you know that Saturday is

World Gardening Naked Day!

Nope, I kid you you not!

{I won't subject ya'll to an image! ha!}

It's celebrated internationally the first Saturday of May, annually.

I don't think I'll be participating!  :)

Anyhow, hope you enjoyed the tour of  The Back Yard.

And don't forget, the gift shops at The Barn,

 featuring beautiful home decor can be seen {here}.

Lots of rich inspiration in their over-the-top displays.
