Sunny Day Gardening


The "Orchard" - Nectarine, Plum, and Peach Trees (with a tiny garden along the wall with artichokes, cucumbers, and squash)


The original garden - it's growing!  Yah!  I moved the blackberry plant here as well as some basil I was trying to grow in a pot - maybe it'll do better here.

Todays project - Flowers!  I wish I had taken a before picture because it was all really overgrown.

A better view.

Decided I really needed some honeysuckle.

And my favorite flower - I can't remember the name of it, but the color is "Pele" :)

Some new photos for you

The backyard trees
The backyard flowers in bloom


Looking  up into the frontyard tree.  It's pretty I just wish it wasn't such a pain when the petals fall off.

Living room - this was taken last night so I've done a bit more since then.

More yard & the scary basement

More photos for you!

Here is my garden - i have blueberries, rubarb, strawberries, a pumpkin vine and sunflowers.
The front yard - I went up to Home Depot today and bought more of the stones arches to finish the side of the house:Look!  I put up shelves in the laundry room:

The scary scary basement.  This is looking down in the floor:
And a couple of random shots of holding the camera down the entry way:



And a pretty flower for you :)

The House

I thought this might be easier than sending you a bunch of pictures :)

The front yard:
at least it's green...but still has the dead patches.

The tree isn't quite in bloom yet


The backyard.  This was after I fixed the fence but it fell down again.
The lawn is the same as the front, green but some dead patches.

Mina misses you.
I miss you very much too :(

Spring has sprung

Some new photos for you all to enjoy

Slightly crooked, sorry. Here's our lovely house in the spring...and our beautiful tree, which while lovely to look at, loves to shed its petals - especially after I spent all morning raking them up.

It is pretty though. Anyone know what kind of tree it is?

My project last week - planting some pretty flowers.

And the next on going project - dealing with the yard.
