The Great Outdoors

We spent the majority of our Memorial Day weekend in the great outdoors!  It wasn't as wonderful as it sounds, since the temps were in the 90's and we were weeding, mulching, & planting in the hot sun.  Here are a few quick pictures of our front yard spruce up...

We added this little bed next to the newer driveway extension.  The tree should get about 15 feet tall.  Next year I'll probably add some lillies here too, since it will likely be a while before the tree grows quite that tall.

New mulch and some purple petunias on the other side of the house...

More annuals & mulch...

 Maybe next year I'll get a hanging basket for our lamp post.

So, we can officially check two things off the Summer Project List.  Have you crossed anything off the list yet?  I'm not getting too excited since we usually have a strong start & quickly fizzle out of steam for the rest of the projects!
