Well the winter prep/yard work continues. Fall has arrived in short order and we've actually got some fall colors here. I've lived in MO since 98 and have never seen fall color here. It's usually green to brown then bare. Then again, it's usually still in the 90's here this time of year.
Enough babble from me. I'll post some pictures ..
Heres the first bed we renovated
Next we did some tree trimming the to these beds behind the house
planted a replacement redbud for one that died a few years ago in an ice storm
We started on this one today. Honestly we were feeling pretty lazy today.. 2-3 days manual labor is hard on us old folk. Ok maybe not so old, nor do I mind doing hard labor, but the ol body doesn't always agree. :)
And heres what we've yet to do
Here are a few shots of the water feature. There is a pool above and a larger one below
with a water way between. This will likely be our largest project. We have to replace the pool liners which entails removing most rocks you see. there are steps to the right. Oh and a nest of yellow jackets to get rid of before starting
then theres the herb garden
and the rock garden
Imagine how surprised we were to see this Bittersweet!! This is pretty rare stuff in this area.
I just hope the Elders appreciate all this :)
