Grace: Those are in the back yard. There are wild and non-wild of them. This is the wild kind. I took this picture! It is near the daylillies.

Peter with shovel

Peter really likes to help dig a hole.

It's not spelled "impatience."

Grace: This was tooken by our swing set. We picked them out at a special plant nursery. The one in the other picture is the same thing. It was in the back yard. And, I took both pictures.

Window boxes and flower pots

We chose some zinnias and some sweet potato vine and some coleus to fill out our window boxes and our potted flowers for the patio. Unless the rabbits eat them, we should have some nice color all summer!

Mom digs a hole, the umpteenth.

I asked for rosebushes for Mother's Day, so we bought some today. I've wanted to put some in on either side of the driveway, against the garage, since we moved in. The soil was rocky and unpromising, so I dug out both beds and replaced the soil with topsoil. We bought the trellises at Joanns, and hopefully the roses can be trained on them. (I assume that's the protocol, but what do I know?)

Rosebushes, fully installed! The final height should be 10-12 feet. They have coral-colored blossoms and a strong "spicy" scent.

Grace takes pictures!

Gracie took pictures on a walk through our neighborhood! It wasn't as dark as the photos might suggest, but the flash distored the lighting a bit. The Peter-with-metal-flowers pictures are us taking discarded garden decorations out of someone else's trash. :)
