our back yard

Our yard is not too big, but I have big hopes... Maybe I should keep them modest and focus on not killing the grass. However, I dream of growing flowers on all three sides of the yard, on the side of the driveway and in front of the house. The previous owner planted a lot so things are popping up all over the place. There was a border of bricks protecting her flower bed under the tree. I removed the bricks, moved some plants, and let the grass overtake that area. Weeks later, there are all kinds of plants popping up there. Fortunately, we had beautiful weather--into the 70's--all last week so we spent a lot of time outside. Inspired by last week's visit to the Insectarium, I started to weed my jungle/butterfly garden in the far right corner (mostly jungle). It has cooled off, so I may have to put the outdoor work on hold for the time being. Lord knows we have plenty of things to do in our house, too.
