A Triple Post! Green Everywhere and Home Office Walls

Wednesday is one of the busiest day in Blogland, at least it is for me. Why? Cause I don't want to miss any of these events so I am joining all 3 of them. Outdoor Wed. is hosted by Susan at http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/. I love seeing everybody's outdoor pictures and maybe you might too, so let's all go visit Susan's site, ok?

After checking out the outdoor pics, please stay around to see what's on our office walls and what's on my Wordless Wed. post.

For this week, I just went around our yard and started clicking on the camera. It's green all over with a few colorful flowers. Isn't the cardinal so pretty on our iron post?
We have 3 Japanese red maples and they really stand out against the green trees. This one's in front of the house.

Here's the other one on the front side of the house.

And here is the third one in the back sideyard by the driveway.

The pink roses are in full bloom.

And look at the cute peaches! This one's a small tree. We just planted it last year. I am surprised it is already bearing fruits.

And here is one of our 2 big peach trees. Do you see all the little peaches? You can click to enlarge the pic to get a better view.

We are working on 2 big projects. We put up an arbor with 2 benches in the area where the yard is sloping down into the creek. I bought 2 colorful bench cushions but will wait till we are done before I lay them down.

I planted 4 climbing Jazmine plants and I can't wait for them to cover the arbor. We are laying down bricks on the ground in b/w the benches and one step down. And then we will just lay stepping stones all the way down.

The second project we are working on is right behind the house. You can see the sloping yard here too. We laid some railroad ties down and I started planting on the terraces. I am not quite done yet....still have a lot to do. Planting is not as hard as digging out the grass. Maybe if I stop blogging, I can finish the project sooner, but what fun would that be? LOL! I have always been a multitasker and life will be too boring for me if I only did one thing at a time.

And lastly, I would like to share with you the progress on our baby bird eggs.

They've hatched and the babies sure look hungry. I did not see them cause I was afraid to climb up on a chair, afraid the mama bird will fly out suddenly again and startle me, so I just raised the camera and snapped a picture. Aren't they precious?

Just as I said, I am also participating in What's on your Wall Wed. hosted by our southern hospitable and glamorous Barb of http://gritsglamour.blogspot.com/. Please visit her site and check out what everybody has on their walls today.

I have also posted just 2 pictures for Wordless Wed. hosted by Dixie at http://frenchlique.blogspot.com/. Today's theme is Earth Day.

But first, let's see what's on the wall. This room is our home office which is right outside the master bedroom. I bought this tile frame for John with ("dottore") written on it, on my first trip to Italy a long time ago. It's a signed hand painted piece and I really like it. It is hanging above the black Asian file cabinet/shelves combo.

This stamp plaque was bought from Kirkland's and is hanging on the other side of the sliding door wall.

These 3 frames are on the left wall of the wall office unit. The first one is a reversed painting on glass of a University of Michigan building, the school where John graduated. The second one is an oil painting from the Philippines and the third is a display of insects we bought from Belize.

I gave this egg frame to John last Christmas. A lot of you probably already know that he collects eggs. Next to it is a trio of lizards I won from Ebay. They are hanging behind his chair and desk.

And these are what is hanging on the wall behind my chair, above another Asian file cabinet, a lateral one. The small one on top is my favorite bonding picture of me and AJ, below it is an Indonesian plaque I bought from a Pier One outlet store in Florida and the big frame is an oil painting I bought from a local shop here. I love the vivid colors on it.

Here is the close up of the photograph showing me and AJ oil painting when she was only 6 years old. I wish I could show you what she painted but my youngest daughter kept it because it was a painting of her wedding complete with the church, bride and groom and the attendants in an abstract finish.

Here are just 2 frames, the top one is a presidential stamp and coin collection and the one below it is an Asian bird plaque.

Last but not least, here is my contribution for Dixie's Earth Day Wordless Wednesday!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope I did not bore you too much with this long post. Hope you all have a nice Wednesday!
