~~~Gardening this Weekend!!!~~~

This weekend we were BUSY! And by we I mean mostly Joe!!! I used to be able to help ALOT more with the mulching but it kills my back now so I do what I can. I did help and I did plant flowers but he does the bulk of the work. I am SO grateful. Here is what we got accomplished so far. We got 8 yards of mulch delivered and most of it is done now. Here is the front of the house. The HOA mulches the front, but I like the mulch we got much better. It is darker and shredded finer as you will see.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzQeMl5H1ezrsR08C0lyYnUregs1KhP4bple34uWdj12yU5XTyDE3L3EO6cFqyhF0BoEUH8FkodZAsnOHHSn8hcOA7Cseiz7Ixt1PH_NWS7_Sl2U3jUeS48MsQLZvs6qFLdFleJwm3eGA/s1600/IMG_0873.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzQeMl5H1ezrsR08C0lyYnUregs1KhP4bple34uWdj12yU5XTyDE3L3EO6cFqyhF0BoEUH8FkodZAsnOHHSn8hcOA7Cseiz7Ixt1PH_NWS7_Sl2U3jUeS48MsQLZvs6qFLdFleJwm3eGA/s1600/IMG_0873.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I planted impatiens across the front cause they only get a few hours of late afternoon sun.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjddgzmAJ9ww4vpbWEv5qMSCO-jIfc2jThvuaSiscSbwHHnmjNb9yVq9VKQorYlySvHwe-RZ9cYG47EyqUlprvaCtl00jF6NN15-bjAl7g0BEnrdd2s4dl2gqIJfMeZKWt240p4oHKWhrI/s1600/IMG_0874.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjddgzmAJ9ww4vpbWEv5qMSCO-jIfc2jThvuaSiscSbwHHnmjNb9yVq9VKQorYlySvHwe-RZ9cYG47EyqUlprvaCtl00jF6NN15-bjAl7g0BEnrdd2s4dl2gqIJfMeZKWt240p4oHKWhrI/s1600/IMG_0874.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A pretty begonia in a pot as you go up the sidewalk.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguSbN5-QpnCQvd_mM1G5PB0e4R45xXsRYbH9FIM2Bn2jnbdoKAKzI9KfjtiIYlb132tz0zatloWmy0suertfthEAlTQ0qiN-TKmnyCjl2YbN37vxbwuHmdQ7U41dmMJwjJJsogfdPpaFk/s1600/IMG_0875.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguSbN5-QpnCQvd_mM1G5PB0e4R45xXsRYbH9FIM2Bn2jnbdoKAKzI9KfjtiIYlb132tz0zatloWmy0suertfthEAlTQ0qiN-TKmnyCjl2YbN37vxbwuHmdQ7U41dmMJwjJJsogfdPpaFk/s1600/IMG_0875.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The front porch.
