Around our yard today :0)

All our flowers have not started blooming yet but when it does I will take more pictures. It is very windy, hot and muggy here and it is just the way I like it!
First I want to show you what Norm brought home from an estate sale on Saturday. Very cool and when we have time it will be situated in right spot and flowers are going in. (well maybe)

Garden shed




Yard
The flowers in the background will be all yellows and purples.

New area of plants.

 My hypertopha heart I made last week with some more new plantings.
No more grass! I have been painstakingly removing it a little at a time....argh!!! 

 Zinnias in pee pot
Along and at the side of our driveway not in bloom yet.





I will post more pictures another time.
~Have a wonderful day blogging friends~

More rain!!!!!! Plus dropping temps is what we have on the way.

Working in my yard everyday and loving it.


 
Spunky follows me and always wants to play.

See this big leafed plant in the front? Soon it will be so big you won't see any parts of the rest of the garden from this side.
Cup plant. Stunningly huge but invasive so needs lots of room and sunlight.

I am leaving for Florida with my friend Cindy on Tuesday through Saturday and leaving my computer behind.
I have been really bad lately on blogging but I am outside ALL the time and just not into it. 
I will post more pictures of my garden in a few weeks, if it ever stops raining for a couple of days, and show you what I worked on today for my gardens. 
Have a wonderful weekend!

Garden spot in the works

Hope all of you have enjoyed your weekend. The weather has been perfect and the moonrise coming out right now is breathtaking to say the least!! I wanted to get a picture but batteries are dead and I am dead tired and too lazy to go get some at the Dollar Store.
I wanted to show you our work in progess garden spot next to our barn. I think it will look nice once the plants start to grow more. I planted Tyme, Hollyhocks and Hens and Chicks. the table is a steel make do my husband made long time ago and was sitting in a junk pile.
Norm made the wood door out of boards cut from Ash trees on our property.





This spot was full of tall weeds, cement blocks, steel posts and few other pieces of junk. He cleared it all out and one day! I'm not kidding it was a mess!


What have you been working on in your yard?
It's a labor of love! To me anyways, never feels like work.

Have a great week ahead friends!
