Yard Workin'

We have spent quite a bit of time trying to fix up our yard.  Thankfully it has already been landscaped, but while it was foreclosed (a year before we bought it) the yard went to pot.  The people we bought from tried to get it nice again, but many of their plants didn't survive the winter....... and we just wanted to add our own taste to some things.

First we built 3 planter boxes for the garden.  Our garden is growing fairly nicely, despite all the grass growing up through our boxes and the RELENTLESS wind up here.
Under those weird white things are tomatoes and peppers.
                                    
On Arbor day we bought a beautiful shade tree.  We were surprised to see it blossom the past couple of weeks with gorgeous pink drapey blossoms.  In the fall the leaves should turn dark purple--- can't wait to see it!
We have tried to revamp and improve our flower beds.  Lucky for us we have a never ending supply of rocks just laying around to make borders!

Now several weeks later, things are looking pretty great! 
  Gorgeous, no?!

Now if only my lawn would mow itself and the wind would blow less.........
