You know, sometimes I think it might be a good thing that I don't have any children of my own. It wouldn't leave me much time for my OCD's - house cleaning and yard work. I've been spending time in my yard since school got out and decided to post some pictures.
The backyard
My unfinished, work in progress corner.I've got to have SOMETHING to do!
The north side of my back yard. Ferns and hosta! Perennials, baby!
Everything in these pots came back from last year. Dianthus and snapdragons. Hallelujah! Less planting for me!
One of my many clematis plants.
Tank kept trying to walk into my pictures!How can you not LOVE this dog?
The front yard
Impatiens are my favorite annual. They love shade and bloom constantly. I always try to put as many in my yard as I can each year.
Close up of the impatiens. In a few weeks, they will be so spread out that you won't be able to see any soil.
This is the other side of my house. The roses haven't bloomed yet, but the yellow and pink zinnia's are starting to open on the left.
I also have four of these planter boxes across the front railing of my porch. I planted these as well and think they add a lot to the front of my house.
These pansies are the same ones I planted earlier in the spring. They're doing so well that I don't want to take them out and replace them with something else quite yet. We'll see if they can make it through the summer.
This is absolutely fabulous! Your yards are BEAUTIFUL! When I have a yard of my own I am coming to you for advice. Well done Kristina. I meant to come over and see it in real life the other day...
