Hello There! I've decided to put in some more time here. My plan is to post at least 3 to 4 times a week. In order for me to make this a success, I will need to do the work. Makes sense, right? Let's get to it ;)   At the start of the summer, I had a half day of work. I was at home alone and puttering around the yard. The weather was nice and we had just gotten some annuals for the patio. I...

Or get overgrown and "leggy" as these pansy's did.They...

A pretty spot by the Garage

Another little spot in the back yard. Small, but I have made it cute and colorful. When we moved in, this spot had a few little waxy perennials. The bricks were there to outline the little bed next to the walkway. A nice start. This spring I moved the stepping stone I made years ago here. I like how the orange glass is almost the same color as the bricks. I also planted some cute little light...
