We spent the weekend helping James' folks putting up a decorative fence in their front yard. It took both days to finish it but it was so worth it. When they were done we just sat back and enjoyed the view. My MIL has a huge rock garden with many different types of flowers and bushes in it that is in front of the fence. We also hung some flowers from the fence rails and have some in rail planters. I think she will get some more of them before she is done. Anyway it is beautiful. I will post pictures of it after she is done hanging all the plants.
On Saturday, while the guys worked on the fence she and I did a little shopping and then came home and planted her trees in the back yard. We have been working together for a few weeks now on her yard and mine. So then on Sunday she came over and helped me plant my two trees and two bushes. We had to dig out two dead trees and one live elm that was in the wrong place. Elm trees are such a pain in the bum!! We have a large one that hangs over our driveway where we park and it is dropping sap on my car like crazy. So we decided not to let the sapling grow that had started on the other side of the drive. Dug it up and replaced it with an Aspen tree. Actually I now have 4 Aspens in my back yard. The dogs are not happy with me as they have to be kennelled for now while the yard gets established. I let them run for awhile in the morning and awhile at night. If it was just Freedom it would be ok, but Tucker is just a big puppy still and likes to chew on EVERYTHING!! So he can't be alone in the yard when we are gone.
Back to the yard...it is beautiful. My rosebushes in the front are huge and have TONS of blooms on them. All of the flowers and pots we planted earlier are starting to really take off!! It is gorgeous and peaceful!
Yesterday I transplanted some Lilac bushes out front to fill in the border I want to make with them. I still need to move a few more to the side but it was so hot yesterday I thought I better wait till it cools off a little.
So today I am trying to do some inside work as it is going to be HOT again!!! Don't get me wrong I like heat but this is nuts. I prefer 70's and 80's...when it starts hitting 90 I hibernate in my nice cool house!!
Well I suppose I better get moving, dishes probably won't get done without me!! lol
Hope you all have a great day. Enjoy the little things!
