Getting It Done


The Beauty of Spring

We've made a good dent in cleaning out the debris from the garden and mulching but boy do we still have a lot to do. I also want to add another small container pond and later on a bigger stock tank container pond. Now we just have to figure out where they will fit in. Mom has also gotten our new peonies planted this week - 10 in all, more beautiful colors to add to our collection!

  1. Wow Sandy, you certainly have got a lot done! The little watergarden is looking great. Can't wait to see the Louisiana irises bloom. Your peonies are looking healthy, too. Thanks for posting all these nice pix!
