We put the finishing touches on the front today with daylillies, annuals, and mulch. We used more annuals than we would in future years, but it fills in the space nicely til the shrubs grow. Or at least it will fill it in some day - right now it looks really weeny. Much more impressive in person… more pictures to follow when it looks more impressive! (Top view large and small)

Stuff is planted! It loaded down our Explorer nicely. We put in the tree and shrubs today. Here are drawings of the design before and after we got ahold of it. After all the hard work, Cassie got to play in the back yard with her rope some.

More yard work today to get ready to plant stuff tomorrow. We put down the black plastic/cloth stuff to keep out weeds and we tilled the garden to get some veggies growing. We took Cassie to the nearby creek for her first swimming adventure. It took some coaxing…but we got her in…sorta. Tonight was sushi night at the Creason home…and way too much of it went to waste.

Paul and Cathy gave us a hand on some home improvements this weekend. We put in our new countertops (no more purple!) and then did some yard work. We’re working on getting a more inviting look out front, which inolved getting rid of all the lava rocks, grey brick border, reshaping the area, tilling in soil and dirt conditioner (thanks to Steve!), and the next steps .are to add some shrubs. “Get me a shrubbery!” Court made us a great dessert to celebrate the hard work with last night

Hal and Leigh Anne got married today! It was a beautiful service and great reception! The Bag Pipes and Blue Grass made it! Dr. Mann did the ceremony and did the best I’ve ever seen. It was great to catch up with so many friends at this great shindig.
