Nature Friday - Lady is so Proud

Dear pals,

Lady has decided to take on the spot around the well as her 3rd garden. Her dream is to dig this up and make it an official garden, but she is realistic with her time, energy and her elbow (she is recovering from very bad tennis elbow) that this is not getting done this year. So she came up with a pretty solution. She is very proud of this.

Hailey refused to pose closer - isn't it pretty?

And in other exciting news, Lady's sunflowers are sprouting.

Thanks to Rosy and Sunny for hosting Nature Friday.

Nature Friday - Wild Flowers and a Garden Update

 Thanks to Rosy for hosting Nature Friday.

We will start with Lady's side garden update. This is the place in the yard she cares the most about.

Checking around the zucchini 

It sure is getting big

She is going to at least get a few zucchinis! 

Sunflowers, many of which the boy from next door helped with, are getting tall!

Now some of the wildflowers in our yard, that the only credit Lady gets is she didn't chop them down!

Hope you enjoyed a little nature from our yard!

The bulbs Lady planted grow

I want to eat dirt

It is true, Hailey's only interest in my garden, where the crocus' are finally making an appearance, is to eat dirt!!!

Gardening

We spent some time on Saturday helping our Lady in the garden while the man was trying to fix the lawn mower. Our Lady does not have a green thumb, but she is going to try this out. We think with our help she will do great.

We thought we would give you a tour of our backyard. We don't go there much. The pictures of us playing outside are usually in the front yard.

 Here is Lee checking out the hill behind garden. The Lady has planted 2 tomatoes, 2 strawberries, 2 cabbages and 2 red peppers. This will probably be it for this year. We want to see if she can keep those alive!

Here is the back of the house. The people are so excited that they will be staining that 69 foot deck soon. The part that is wider is off the dining room.

Note: The picture from Sunday's post was taken just after this one. Phody was so happy because he and Hailey got to wrestle and he thinks he won.

Our house has 2 garages. There is one to the side of the house and this one in the basement. If you look at the picture above this is between the 2 pillars on the far right of the shot. It is also messy. There are empty boxes from our move, the Christmas decorations, the patio furniture, which the people don't want to put up until they get the staining done and the wood for our fireplace (this enters on to the living room too so good location for the wood!)

This is some of the trees behind our place.  You can see the hill is steep and why we don't play back here as much. 

If you are standing behind the house facing it this is on the right. it is the septic field. Our Lady has done a great job at growing dandelions here! Here dream is to put a low maintenance flower garden here eventually. She may pick up a few plants to get this started as the spring goes on. 

You can see our Man's car peaking out on the left. He was parked in the driveway, hoping it would rains and clean his car!

 This is to the left of the house. Here Phod is looking to see if the grass the Man planted has started to grow. We aren't allowed to play on this right now.

Thanks for coming on our tour with us! Have a great day.
