Name That Plant!

June 30th, 2010

Last night we had to turn in our final “fix it” list to the builder so we both broke out our cameras for a little show and tell time. I need help identifying most of the plants. Lucky for me there are only a couple of evergreens and Sean has graciously agreed to tend to those so I don’t break out in hives. So in no particular order… name that plant!!

Plant 1

Plant 2

Plant 3

Plant 4

Plant 5

Plant 6 – I think this is a Japanese Maple of some sort… but it is getting in sad shape fast… so tips on care would greatly be appreciated!!

And my garden will be back here somewhere near the second favorite feature of the house is…..

Mmmhmmmm We will be sitting out here a lot!!!

Count Down

June 29th, 2010

So three more weeks until we close on the house. Then one week later we leave for Disney World and a 4 night Bahamas Cruise. I of course started with the important stuff first. I shopped like a maniac for the proper clothes for the cruise. Tough job, but someone had to do it. I have also been trying to figure out a garden spot for a fall garden, but the sprinkler system has me concerned. Never having had one, I’m not sure what is involved in making sure I don’t hit one of those while tilling up a space etc.

Other than that, I actually visited and joined a guild. I have never visited or joined one. It was just a fantastic group of nice ladies. I wish I could have made the sewing day last Saturday, but repairs and packing are cramping my quilting. I did manage to look at the program list this morning for the rest of the year and it looks like tons of fun.

Other than that, I don’t have much to share. Seems like I should, but I don’t. I hope you all are having a fabulous summer.
