Spring Around The New House

 Blooms from the first cherry tree planted.   The second cherry tree

which is a Kwanzan hasn't opened yet.  We are hopeful it will

bloom and not just leaf out.

 It's been a long time since I was able to grow tulips in

my garden due to rabbits & squirrels in Bozman.   Even though

we have both here [in St. Michaels] they haven't found

my tulips yet.  I remain ever hopeful they won't.

 Brick artists at work.  Boy, that patio took longer to lay down

then we thought.  We are extremely happy with the shape

and size we decided on.   We made one side by the steps

a little larger to hold the Primo Grill.

 Mulch was put down on all the beds [front & back].  I'll be planting

 annuals in the beds soon.  I'm already looking at spring

bulbs to plant in fall.  I'm crazy for plants [and fabric] just
in case you didn't realize that!

 Letting the cement harden around the patio edge before 

the mulch is spread.

 We have enough brick to put a border around Wilson's sun garden.

The plants are ready here {Wilson order two pre-planned gardens from

an on-line store called Wayside Gardens}.  The guys should finish 

up the brick work up this week - then he can plant.  The guys

did plant my dad's red maple in one corner of the bed which

won't interfere with the brick work.

 We've already spent time on the stone benches when a

few of the neighbors stopped by to say hi and chat.

We spend a lot of time outside on the back addition which

makes every cent we paid so well worth it.

Have a great Sunday.
