Our Weekend (Part 1)

This is what we got up to Saturday morning.

The sun was HUGE and beautiful

and after a couple of days of

storms and tornado warnings

and high winds it was

WONDERFUL

 to actually see the sun

and not have any wind. 

It has been a busy few days for us

as we've been working outside

trying to get a few things done.

I worked on planting the

shade perennials

and even had fun with 

a few fairy decorations I had 

bought online. I usually don't do things

like this in my garden but this tree 

was PERFECT for this little set up.

I'll tell you more about it in Part 2 

;-)

While I was doing that Hubby worked

 on finishing our picket fence.

He still has to cut the posts off

and we'll have the 

daunting task of staining it all

but I don't want to think about that right now.

I'm just REALLY happy to have

gotten this far!

Hubby went to a lot of work

trying to get a curve in the fence.

I think he did a WONDERFUL job.

Eventually inside this fence and growing

along it will be some 

David Austin

Graham Thomas 

climbing roses

(rich yellow)

Or

James Galway

climbing roses

(warm pink)

along with some 

hydrangea's and clematis.

I still haven't made up my mind about

the rose colors

because if all goes well this 

spring we'll be painting the house.

What color have I chosen for the house?

Yellow!

So

if any of you have 

any suggestions for different roses

or any other flowers on that fence I'd love

to hear what you have to say.

OH...I will also be planting 

lavender

somewhere in the garden

too!

I planted my concrete 

planters with

pink geraniums on the front porch.

I think I'm going to miss the blue

for a bit but probably not for 

too long.

Today we have a break

before more storms tomorrow and Thursday.

So far we have been very fortunate

considering we live in 

tornado alley.

My heart goes out to all those

who experienced the tornado's

and bad weather late last week 

and this weekend.

Especially to those who lost loved ones

and homes.

I hope this is the start of a good week 

for most of you...and a better one

for others.
