It was a cool and breezy day in SE Wisconsin and perfect for working outside. So today I edged, weeded, transplanted, planted, swept, watered, and trimmed. Late afternoon came with quite a drop in temperature and a great downpour! What perfect timing!
This is an 8 foot bench that was inspired by a photo I saved on Pinterest. Made with 2x4x8 and 1x4x8 treated lumber. On the right is my mom's geranium (over 7 years old now) getting used to being outdoors for the summer.
My little Bay Laurel topiary tree with the soil covered in moss I pulled from a shady nook in the yard.
A pot of mixed flower seedlings sits next to the Bay Laurel and Yellow Loosestrife is in the pot in the back.
Shallow clay pots of Stone Crop Sedum on the table .
A couple blooms opened on the Clematis today with many more to come!
The raised beds on the deck are bursting with radishes and lettuce.
This year I raised the canopy and underplanted my Quick Fire Hydrangea with
Stone Crop Sedum and Blue Carpet Lobelia.
Another Pinterest inspired project. I liked this one because it was all natural, just sticks and stones!
I cut out a special spot for Iris to check on front yard happenings while she's taking it easy on the patio.
Hello world! It's me, Iris!
It's 64° and even Iris enjoys the warmth of the fire tonight!
Thanks for checking in!
