Yard and Garden Work

It's been a busy week-end, cleaning and planting in my gardens.

Ken finally put my arbor back up,

the burning bushes have really taken

off this year.  I planted wisteria on 

either side of the arbor. I can't wait

for the blossoms to open, and see it fill

the whole structure and the fences.

He also added the fence to the back of my rock garden.

I cleaned it out, and am happy to see my irises 

starting to bloom.

Marti had given me several of her irises, this is

one of my favorite colors.

The trellis is loaded with honey suckle flowers,

and the hummingbirds have been really 

enjoying their nectar.  It sits in my garden to the 

right of our front door.

To the left of the door the plants are growing

equally as well.  My Spider Wart has taken off,

and the cat mint is beautiful.

I love bumble bees, and this one kept me 

entertained for some time as it went from

flower to flower on the cat mint.

Coming in for a landing!

I put my little cement angel bench here

and planted a small barrel of flowers to

sit on it..  The Spider Wart is also in 

full bloom.

My prayer garden, planted in memory of Marti,

is once again taking shape.  I've planted several new 

flowers in the bed, and hung a plant there .

I'm very pleased with how it has turned out.

Now I'm ready to tackle the beds at the sides

of the house.  After my knees get a rest.
