Yard work

Yesterday Joe & I worked outside all day in the yard... It was the first time he mowed.. needed it very much so...He started with the grandma Jeans yard next door... he always does hers first.. she is 77..then ours...I started cleaning the flower beds.. I really enjoy doing it..never thought I would, but I do..but today I am paying for it... I can hardly move..but I'm going back out... I need to fill my new flower pots with good potting soil and get my hanging baskets ready... Joe wants color not just green..Just thought I would share




Some of my spring flowers




Lawn mowed for the first time this year and all the weeds and leaves cleaned out from winter




After cleaning the flower beds all day





This is the rose bush starter that I started last year... from grandma Gay's bush... It's out of control already..




My snow on the mountain mom gave me years ago so I brought some with me when I moved..




These are just picking out of the ground... lily of the valley..




Wish my tulips would last all summer




This plant is just peeking out of the ground.. Mom gave it to me last year...Hydrangia





This rose bush is a starter that Connie gave me as a house warming present when we moved in here along with , with some spending mony ..so I bought a trillis for it to climb on... it was from Great Grandma Gay's farm... I also stared a second one... and gave two away to friends..
