What a wonderful Friday and weekend!! We worked in the yard -- Friday, Rick and I mowed the grass and tidyed up the yard. I went to Menard's (very pleased that they require you wear masks the WHOLE time you are on their property!). I bought stepping stones for the garden area. I placed those and like them a lot -- makes it easier to get to the electrical outlet and to do what needs done in that area.
I planted all the New Guinea Impatiens in their new homes for this year. I transplanted a few hostas from the front of the house (they were doing a slow death there) to the new area by the stepping stones. While planting, who did I find??? A dark-colored TOAD! He took me by surprise, but I "guided" him to the myrtle while I did my planting. I am making him a little "toad house" so he has a place to shelter.
I bought two boxwood shrubs and planted them in the front of the house. I hope they can thrive there, not much grows well in that area, but I have felt for a long time that we needed a couple of shrubs.
I bought a new Oriole feeder -- you put grape jelly in it! I have it hanging in the Japanese Koosa tree in the front yard. We can see it from our deck. I also hung a suet feeder and put 2 mandarin orange halves in it. Hope it draws some colorful visitors to our yard.
I've put several photos of our yard:
