Front beds are DONE!

Jim worked his behind off to get fresh mulch in them. I've been trimming bushes the past few weeks. With all the rain they are growing like crazy! I think I'm DONE, and they grow again!It almost makes me wish for the heat of mid-summer. Everything slows down growing... BUT not quite!

We might need to add a little bit more color. The hydrangeas are not doing as well as we'd hoped they would. Now the sprinkler system is one maybe they'll be happier. I think they are getting too much sunlight. Live and learn!

Now Jim wants to get the stone refreshed in the beds around the pool. I have to finish getting plants for the pots. So far all we have is a Hibiscus tree in one pot. Two to go!

I was right about American Idol being Kris!
