What's Happening In Your Yard?

We've done some slight landscaping, found baby birds, watched our roses bloom, let Lucee drink from the hose, and just enjoyed some outside time!


Before! The people who lived here before had this huge flower bed...with nothing in it! We've planted flowers in it before but still had a lot of extra space so I came up with a genius idea....


During! Why not make it smaller honey?!


After! Great idea!! Don't ya think?! BTW - I had to go buy the sod alone...it was scary! Oh, and Tricia...don't laugh! Isn't your soon to be husband a professional? Ha! We're obviously not but I'm still proud of it! We put those stepping stones because when I get out of my car I always have to walk in the old flower bed or now the grass...so instead of killing the grass we just put those two big stepping stones. Hubs and I did it together...I planted all the flowers in this flower bed and in the other ones in our yard. It's a lot of work, just so you know!


My new Gardenia plant...I had one last year but it died in the hurricane. I'm having a little trouble keeping this one looking pretty. Any tips?



Our new Hibiscus tree...our other one also died in the hurricane!


My rose bush...looking mighty fine this year! I always heard roses were the hardest plant to take care of and grow but so far it's been the easiest!


Lucee was a thirsty girl after working in the yard all day!





How cute are these little guys?! Mama bird did NOT like me taking pictures of her babies!
