So while I was looking for pics of the dog to post in the sandbox, I came across this pic of actual spring sage--it's that stuff around the dog there for those of you who don't know--smells good too
Anyway--this sage is what inspired the house color one day on a dog walk. Coulda been this day...who knows?

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! Smiling 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! I tip my hat to you.
