I love the pictures of your dogs and the natural Sage, Dirt.
Actually the top Eaves on our house were and still are Sage. The first plants we planted were Texas Sages when we bought it nearly 6 years ago. Love the color!
The Sages are still a favorite.

I absolutely adored that cottage garden house you shared with us Frilly Lilly! I have tried to create a similar cottage look here in sandy, hot , and humid Central Florida, by painting and altogether simple and bleak (but exceptionally well built 50's) block ranch. At least it was the narrow blocks which look more brick like. The finish I chose to do was to create that effect.
Dirt,
You have as many creative and fun ideas as we all do. Aren't we all interesting together!
