My Efforts at Gardening!

I know this isn't much but it's the first time I've been serious attempt at gardening in many, many, many years.

Little Treasures From My Front Yard

Last fall I went to the local IFA store and purchased some very sad looking plants. After spending the winter under the snow this is what came back. I can’t wait for them to spread!





I went to Wal-Mart and picked up some of their close out bulbs.

Snow Drops!

Maybe there is hope for spring. It wasn't very nice to spend all most a week in warm, sunny Mexico and then get hit with -10 degrees when I touched down in Denver last week. Not nice at all! But this morning I found these beautiful little flowers poking up through last years fall leaves. Maybe spring is coming. There is always hope.

One of Spring's Little Surprises

After the red and yellow tulips and the daffodils had all bloomed and died back these pretty little pink tulips came up. What a wonderful bonus this spring!

Yard Work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have this wonderful brown thumb. I plant something and if the bugs or snails don’t eat it I kill it. About the only thing that does VERY well in my yard are dandelions and binding weed AKA morning glory. If I don’t kill these plants maybe next spring I’ll have some pretty flowers.





After thinking about doing this for years we finally put in a cobble stone walk to the front faucet! No more jumping the mud puddle or balancing on the pipes! I really should have worn gloves. My hands are very rough from the bricks and the sand. Oh thank heavens for bag balm!


I need to get some Irish moss or mother of thyme to plant in the cracks and fill in the bigger holes.
