|
Our weather was perfect here in Fl. for some serious outside work, had curbing/edging people come out thur and do 5 tree's and our corner fence, we did the rest, while renewing the edging we had put in years ago, to use again in some spots here's a few pics, of the results, the fence job now requires easier mowing and less trimming Yea! our lawn and crepe myrtle are still in dormant winter stage, will take a pic. when crepes are blooming.
 and this is not all of what we did this weekend, 4 trees needed additional weed block and more mulch, we have more to do but today we rest..LOL

You two have a real flair for making an already beautiful garden even more gorgeous Susie. You did a great job on the staining - I really love that colour!!  I'm so looking forward to seeing everything in bloom against the blue and white.

Thank you for the positive comments,we do appreciate them, as you may or may not know most of you are probably younger then we are, and although we (hubby & I) have been doing our own landscaping, and interior design etc. for 46 years now on several homes, believe me it get's harder as the years add on we are 65 & 71, as far as back aches,we're doing ok,we blow em off, and take lot's of breaks, LOL, today we took the day off to rest, tomorrow is another day...beautiful weather all this week, we have to do our hard outside work in the winter, not june, july or aug. much, much too hot!

Good work, SusieQ. I like that fountain and the arrangement around the tree. Looks all spic and span.

Looks fab, so bright and cheerful. I love the tree seat and am desperate for one around our willow. One day. I look forward to seeing pics as things start to flower.

I just love the tree seats with the "little people" on them. Your garden is going to look so pretty as soon as the dormancy is broken.
