I have had a lovely day.
I was just thinking of my Daddy. I miss him.  He lives a few hours away, but I cannot travel to go see him right now. So I am sending him cyber hugs and kisses.
Also, the kids and I have been busily planting flowers and shrubs in the flower bed. Want to see?
I planted the two ornamental grasses (Blue Lilly Turf) and the "banana" plant in the front of this pic on Saturday.
Here is what we call the banana plant (Asiatic Pot Lilly).
Then we planted the shrub on the corner and 5 more Blue Lilly Turfs on the front. The trellises have to be painted white. We are going to plant something that climbs (like roses???) We haven't decided yet. My dad liked to grow roses when I was growing up. I remember one year when he didn't have enough money to buy me what I wanted for my birthday. He cut all his roses and put them in a vase and gave them to me. That was the best birthday present ever! That meant more to me than any gift bought in a store. So my vote is for roses.
I love this shrub. It smells so good!
Two more Hawthorne shrubs on the side and a foxglove. The kids picked out verbenas for the side.
I am going to talk to hubby about running the river rock all up the side bed. Then it is time to plant some grass! I am sick of all the mud!!!  |
