as it is always important to be efficient (insert a little bit of sarcasm) I have combined the pictures of my mom's garden with the 4 week backlog " Year of Colour Challenge".
First a picture that combined all the colours (the gnome is for sky blue and I missed the gardening gene so I have no idea what any of the plants/colours are but I do see red/orange, wild strawberry and plum ish colours!) 
but I also took some individuals as well...this is for "Plum" 
and Alexandra (my second cousin (ten years old)) helped me find my "sky blue" - the painted flowers
a poppy for "wild strawberry"
a chance this is more "yellow orange than red orange but I really like this picture - notice how one of the petals is unruly - almost looks like it is licking its lips!) 
another "plum" picture
a picture of my dad's pond - he has 8 fish and sits out here every morning for a little peace and quiet.
I really do hope the gardening "bug" will catch up with me as I really have no passion nor talent for it. I can't even keep a house plant alive! but my mom and my dad(he builds the structures and my mom plants in and around them) have done an amazing job. They have been in the McKenzie Towne gardening tour and also a stop for inspiration for alot of their friends and mine! My mom actually grew the majority of these plants/flowers from seed! We don't have anywhere to eat in March/April as the dining room is filled to the roof with plants but it is all worth it when you see the finished product!

Hi Dee-Ann,
I just wanted to let you know that I love looking at your BLOG. I especially like the pictures of your mum's yard (of course) since we share a love of gardening. It is great keeping up with you and the family now that we don't live across the street from your mum and dad anymore! Keep up the great work!
Jen, Stu, Samantha and Rebecca
Dee, your mom's garden looks gorgeous. I just might have to take a drive by one of these days and check it out!
