I have a little met for today. Can you spot it? Of course you can't, that is why I am changing things around, mostly moving plants.
The kumquat tree has grown, covering the small lion fountain I have hanging on the brick wall. So, I moved the plants around and now, can you see it?

Here is a close up of the fountain. It's mosaic and it has blue and yellow flowers.
I can even see the fountain when I am blogging all the way from our home office.
Showing you what's on the little iron tabletop in front of the bench, they're just mostly candles and a plant.
I added more plants to the top of the outdoor dining table and moved things around a little.
The bees stayed. I like them there.
I moved the terrarium from the breakfast nook inside the house, to the back porch and placed it on top of the cooler.
I hope you enjoyed my mimi met for today. It seems little but I really moved a lot of plants around plus cleaned the area with a hose. There were lots of leaves caught up in the corner.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks to our gracious hostesses for these fun memes.

Hi Christine,
I almost couldnt find the comment button, it's kind of hidden by a pic. The patio area is so gorgeous!
You have created such an oasis for your family and friends. I love it all,your fountain is so pretty and that pool area is awesome!
Hugs,
Cindy
Yes, you did well by moving the plant so you can see the lion fountain. Could that be a "green man" and not a lion? From British mythology.
I love your changes Christine...I really love that fountain.
Christine. I just love that fountain and you sure don't want it hiding behind plants. I just love your whole pool area. If I had a pool I would do laps everyday. Sigh.
I love your blog. Everything is so pretty!
What I wouldn't give to have that pool this summer! You even have a cooler...you have a hotel at home and yet you are gone so much! Everything is lovely as always...hope your weekend was wonderful!
Christine,
Moving your plants around mean they are happy and growing!!! Lovely! I like to see the fountain and to hear it. So relaxing.
Oh, to have the view you do from your office.
The lion's head fountain was worth uncovering, and sharing.
I love your patio/garden area - So pretty! Heat here as taken a tow on my plants and have had to haul some to the garbage.:( Hope your Mother got some rest after her ordeal at the hotel.
Have a great week!
Goodness, your patio area is luxurious! Awesome fountain, too!

Oh, everything is just gorgeous. You have the nicest yard and such a lovely pool area. I love your Paris plate tablescape in your header now. I bought some of those and just think they are wonderful.
I am tagging you for an award on my blog (as soon as I get it up and posted).
Christine,
What a lovely area. Good job.
I just read your previous post - that had to be an adventure. Glad all ended well.
Have a great week.

Christine-You have a lush garden oasis back there!!! I wish I had a fountain somewhere--I love them..Is that a daffodil blooming in the terrarium????
You are living in a paradise Christine!

Looks like that lion was spitting mad you had him covered!
It looks very lush and calm back there, but I bet it is hot!
We finally got some cooler weather!
Hi Christine, thank you for your visit today. I'm happy you enjoyed the makeover for my daughter's bedroom.
Your outdoor space is beautiful. I know you moved around your plants and it all looks so comfortable and inviting. I love that you took lots of photos of the many details in your space. The background with the pool makes me want to take a swim. We sold our home with our pool a few years ago. Here in the mountains we do not have a place that isn't going down hill. Smile. Pools are a lot of work and I only miss it when I see a lovely pool like yours.
Happy Blue Monday.
Hugs, Jeanne
Oh Christine, your yard is just such a dream. I can't imagine that you can do anything else to make it any more wonderful. I have serious envy. Love everything about it. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
What a peaceful looking place to sit and relax. It's beautiful. I love your fountain!

Christine, I love the new look. although something as simple as moving plants can seem like not very much... it had a big impact on your already gorgeous back yard. I love the fountain.!
Christine, as always, you have such a lovely home!
I am sorry that it has been forever since I have been by! I barely get my one post up a week!
Blessings & Aloha!
Christine, sitting to a garden like yours is sooo invigorating.
Have a lovely thursday/Dredd
