A Nice Surprise

April 5, 2009 by pictureperfectcooking

Last fall, I purchased a few bags of mixed daffodil bulbs at Lowe’s.  I had a nice surprise the other morning when I learned that one of the mix is a beautiful double yellow daffy.  I’m am going to have to search for the name, but here’s a look at it.

Yesterday was a busy day around here.  We mowed and weed-whacked for the first time, and the yard looks so good.  C & I are planning on finishing up the front yard landscaping.  We planted 3 trees yesterday, one Granny Smith Apple, one Gala Apple, and one Kwanzan Cherry.  I have grand plans for the rest.  I plan on having 3 double red Knockout Roses in front of the garage, along with 5 Blue Star Junipers, and 2 more Helleri Hollies.  Down our retaining wall, I hope to put 9 Compacta Hollies and 5 yellow Knockout roses.  We also started laying edging around the front porch yesterday.

While we are on vacation this year, C & I are going to attempt to lay a paver path behind the garage to the deck.  If this turns out well and is not totally back-breaking work, we are eventually going to make a paver sidewalk in the front yard from the driveway to the front porch.  We will keep you updated on the progress.  Right now, I think I need to take another Tylenol.  I used muscles yesterday, that I hadn’t used in a LONG time!
