I love this quote: "Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises." I usually put an emphasis on the colors in our yard --but this year, especially after our terrible drought last year, I am in love with the GREENS in our yard!!!!!
Today I want to share more of our yard and more of the 'greens' we have. Hope you enjoy seeing the beauty in all of this GREEN....

| Our Ivy/Periwinkle (Vinca Minor) BED on the upper side of our front yard (6/8/17) |

 |
| Another picture of the upper side of the yard toward the back; The Periwinkle is so thick here --and even though it takes years to get THIS thick, it is a great ground cover since it eats up the weeds!!! (6/12/17)_ |
 |
| This Hosta was our largest hosta plant UNTIL this year... It is now in 2nd place --but is still pretty (on the upper side of the yard) (6/12/16) |

Congratulations to Mark and Debbie. I'm loving all the greens around your yard. It's fast becoming one of my favorite colors
I see why you're enjoying the green. Congrats to the newly weds. I have hosta on my balcony undisturbed now from the deer. I did plant some flowers in the small garden plot and yesterday discovered something had munched on the zinnias. Deer or rabbit, couldn't tell. Back to spraying liquid fence.
Definitely lot's of green around your place to go with all of your colors. Your yard always looks so good.
Hello, congrats to your son and new DIL. Pretty photos. Your gardens all look beautiful. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
The lush green of your yard is gorgeous! It's such a relief that the drought is apparently ended. Congratulations and best wishes to Mark and Debbie!
More fun than you and George??? That is hard to imagine. LOL
I really like the greens in our yard this year, and you've captured them beautifully. That picture of me 'hiding' is one of the best you have of me. You should get more like that!
The wedding collages age great!
It really is a green beaufigul place all around. Congras to your family. I think your son looks a lot like you. Stay happy all of you.
Your yard is just beautiful Betsy. I have never had luck with growing hostas. I almost kill them quicker than I can get them in the ground! Yours are just gorgeous and lush. Congratulations again to your son and your daughter. Wishing them many happy years together. Blessings, Betsy
Your yard is gorgeous as always. Wish i could turn my backyard into all Periwinkle - it is just too hard to mow. I have Hostas all over the yard as well as Bleeding Hearts.
Beautiful, Betsy. I like green too and how it is such a great background for ALL the colors.
Happiness and more LAUGHTER to the joyous couple.

Best wishes for the happy couple. Looks like they are starting married life with lots of smiles and laughter! Isn't that great!!! And I love your beautiful home and the roses living your driveway. Everything does look so lush and green this year. We've gotten some good rain too and things are growing like crazy. Hugs!
You should be so proud of your sons, and I know you ARE! They are a beautiful couple. Well, my favorite of all your yard shots is your HOUSE!! Didn't you guess that? I have always loved it! Both in color and in shape!
Love all the green and the newlyweds too. They look very happy! I just looked on your sidebar at Hocking Hills. I was born in Columbus and our farm was in Pickerington, just up the road from HH. Have a great week!
Congrats to Mark and Debbie. You can see the happy in their eyes.
I am a foliage person so I love all your green with the different shades, shapes sprinkled with lovely color for contrast. Well done.
Betsy, Congratulations on Mark and Debbie's wedding! Its always great to see someone you love in love with someone who loves them back just as much. Love the variations in green! Spring and early summer highlights just how many shades of it there are... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
You do have a very green yard! And it's the greenest time of year right now. Our hostas are doing great.
Congratulations to the whole family!
I LOVE your house and yard. It is beautiful...
Awww - the lovebirds look so happy! And wonderful shots of all your greens.
No,I didn't;t forget about you. I saw this post yesterday, but did not have time to read it and comment. Your yard is so beautiful.Everything is growing well under your care.I have several Hostas as well and love those huge leaves. Beautiful pictures of the happy couple.I wish them nothing but happiness. I have been so busy taking care of my sister and helping out in any way I can, that the computer doesn't get as much attention.
Hugs to you my friend.
Congratulations to the newlyweds! Happy Wishes for the happy couple, they both have great smiles.
Beautiful green, especially with the drought you had early one.
Does your roses stay in pots? Cause they do looking this good, I will dig mine up and put in pots.
Beautiful yard and family.
Betsy
All that green is just so beautiful ! Fresh and calming :)
It’s pretty green overall and hostas make the look more interesting… Lovely view facing the house with colourful flowers lining up the driveway! The couple looks pretty and charming together, glad they had fun on cruise… Best wishes to your son and in-law
Hi Betsy, your yard looks fabulous and I love hostas. Mine are looking pretty good, but I think I need to move a few of them to a better spot. It's really hot now and it's getting to be a chore watering all the flowers, but I love them too much to not plant even knowing how much work they are!
Your son and his bride are a beautiful couple and I wish them many, many years of happiness!
Take care and enjoy your summer!
Cheryl
All that green does look beautiful this year after the drought last year! Congratulations to the newlyweds! They look quite happy together.
Howdy there Betsy, glad to see you've been by and that you liked the recent pictures and posts. I am loving this post of yours....your green house is so pretty and oh my all your flowers are looking great! That one big hosta is amazing, how long have you had it? Love the pretty wedding pictures, sending them happy best wishes from charleston! Looks like a fun fun fun honeymoon for sure and loved her pretty wedding dress and THE HAT OF COURSE...YOU KNOW HOW I AM ABOUT HATS!! ha ha LOL They look so happy! Y'all got any big weekend plans? We are doing a little painting.
Dear Betsy, I so like the green of your home. A lovely color as are all the plants in your extensive garden. Years ago--when I was a junior in college--so 1957--I wrote a short story entitled "Innocence is Evergreen." And green has always been a favorite color of mine. Of course, I'm Irish!!!! Peace.
Many congratulations to Mark and Debbie, the newly weds, wishing them many happy years of wedded bliss.
I really enjoyed your greens, it is one of natures best colours ... your Hosta Bed looks amazing.
I hope you are having a good week - enjoy your weekend
All the best Jan
Best wishes to the happy couple!
Love the dark green color on the house. Very pretty. Loving the flowers in the yard. You have been a busy woman over the years to get all that planted.
I love green so much I named my daughter Kelly. Congrats to your son and his beautiful wife! sandie
Congratulations to your son, Mark & his wife, Betsy!!
God may bless you all.
Greetings from Starry.
