Holiday Weekend Flowerworks

Holiday Memorial Day weekend means extra time to work the garden. The man put the finishing touches on his stone layout, then we were off to purchase a rose bush (Neptune) to add to the blue/purple theme. I was then able to finalize our backyard garden and get plants into the ground.

 

The kids of course were on-hand to clown around and check out the new plantings.

Once the yard project was done, it was time to take stock of what was blooming…

Gardening with the Furkids

With the advent of mild spring weather and as our outdoor activity ramps up, it’s always nice to get the kids outside for some green exposure.

Helping out with watering…

Inspecting the newly installed hardscaping and mowed lawn…

Transplanting the japanese maple in its 65 gallon grow pot…

New cat tree

Flash received his Xmas gift early this year, to my relief. It was finally time to evict him from my dinette set.

It’s the New Cat Condos Playstation, over 6 feet tall and stable as a rock. I got it on sale on Overstock.com, with free shipping to boot. For the first couple of days, Flash was apprehensive about it. But soon after, he fell in love with it. He loves leaping off and on, up and down the tree…climbing, tearing, rolling, scratching, rubbing and scrambling all over it. Some days, I wish I could be a cat so I can have the wild, crazy fun he’s having.
