Yard Work!

So we decided it was probably time to do some landscaping... way overdue I know! Last weekend was the only time that the weather was going to be nice, so our friend Craig came over to help Rand out. They worked all afternoon on saturday and only got about half way before it got too late ( the ground was still a little wet from a previous rain, so it was really heavy), and the boys had pretty good sunburns. They finished it off monday after work in just over an hour. I am way excited to plant flowers and bushes! I have always loved taking care of plants, and I can't wait to pretty up my yard. Hopefully the rain will stop enough to get it done in the next few weeks.



I love that my cat had to watch them the entire time...

It was sad to get rid of the thickest grass we had- of course right up next to the house, but they did transplant it to some other areas that were in need. Any ideas for what kinds of plants we should use?

Guess who gets to participate in a Saturday morning yard work adventure for Mother's Day? My dad volunteered me to give that present to my mom for Mother's day.

I say plant some tulips... although it is a little late for that. There is always next year though.

Nice work boys!! I think it is funny that your cat sat in the window and watched all the action! Can't wait to see the beds brimming with color in the coming months!!

Oh, you are a true Griffiths, that's for sure! Bulbs will be great to plant this fall for next spring (tulips and daffodils are my faves), and I love ivy, flowering perennials and the all time favorite, petunias. Good luck! Be sure to post pictures when you get some stuff planted!
