While my mom was visiting a few weeks ago, she was nice enough to go out and buy some plants and flowers for the yard. After she went home, I got the stuff planted, and she requested some photos, so here they are. This year we are once again trying a herb garden. We don't have any vegetables--Karl has proved to us that this isn't a worthwhile venture because he eats them just as they ripen. He loves tomatoes, especially.
I should also take a picture of the front of the house to post. I've done some work out there. While Bill was teaching the other night, I actually yanked two trees out of the ground. (It's amazing how strong I am when I REALLY want to do something.) Today I added some red mulch out front. It's still a chaotic mess, but it looks a little more under control.
