Blooms!

A girlfriend of mine sent me a quote on gardens. I thought I'd share it on the blog-

". . . everything of great importance happened in a garden. . . Man fell in the Garden. You taught in a garden. You prayed Your passion in a garden. You were betrayed in a Garden. You arose in a Garden. I love this place, for when I sit out here, I see the wonder of Your creation. . . It reminds me that Your hand is in it all." Leato's Garden, by Francine Rivers

Updates on our hard work in the yard. We've weeded, cleaned out, raked, bagged, dug up monkey grass, put down rocks, edged, shaped, planted, mulched, watered. Now just to watch it all grow and flower and bloom!

What we had to work with after raking out the winter..

Making plans for the Monkey Grass

Those are the plans for the Monkey Grass- thanks to James and Kate for giving the monkey grass a new home!

The effect of Trey and his new toy, the edger! First try at the edger- not too bad!!

The boy and his big-boy toy!

No more monkey grass in the front!! now what...

No more monkey grass on the side..

New rocks! New flowers- and these won't take over like the morning glories

New rocks around Gran's irises

The hubs watering our garden

Yay! now just going to watch it grow.

New Easter cross we got at church

Hostas and window boxes and rocks and flower!

The cherry blossom tree- so pretty

fluffy and soft and perfect

The cannas I planted last year have decided to return
