Ta-Da!

My weekend project ~ flower bed #1

It started out with random tall green leafy plants... randomly placed in the old mulched flower bed around our light post.

First steps - transplant the plants into some kind of pattern,
and clear the old mulch.

Oh yeah, and weed.


Then I added the new mulch.


Next came the flowers - yay!

















Ta-Da! Finished product!







Bill's weekend project was changing the brakes - and yes, I actually took a picture of that too -


we really needed new brake pads and I'm forever grateful to my husband who saves us a boatload of money by changing them himself! :)


He's also busy on a woodworking project (thanks in part to a new jig saw) but I'm not allowed to tell you what it is! :)


That's all for now - I'm going back to the basement to stay cool!

Your curb appeal looks great!
I like the pretty colors and varities you picked. Do you use the hose to water oer carry a sprinkler?
