The rain background will likely be replaced, if I can figure out how do that. No point in messing with it until I have something with which to replace it. Right-on!
I finally got back out in the yard last evening. I've been out of fuel for the mower for two weeks. No excuse, I know, but with the business travel and other priorities, not always is time right there in front of me to grab for such frivolous activities as...lawn and garden.
It was a great pelasure to see just how far the lawn has come since the double gut punch of 2011 mega-freeze winter followed by 2011 mega-drought summer. I'll have to snap a photo or two for postable posterity.
Also, Mah-in-law is in disbelief that my garden mums are in full bloom. According to her, garden mums do not bloom until late summer / early fall. Well, if this is the case, then I have some funky strain that blooms year round. I plunked them into the ground last September (2011) and have had at least one bloom at all times since (yes, even through this mild winter). Point being that I'll have to up a photo of the mums as well. Actually, I could get both in a single photo (reality is that I don't think I could take a photo without including both the mums and the lawn...just sayin').
Speaking of plunking, I plunked a couple more daylilies. These originated from the g-paw-in-law about 25 years ago. The plunking is a result of transplanting from an asian jasmine overrun bed into a refurbished planting bed (plunking bed?), sans jasmine. Also, in the bed will be yellow bearded iris (I think they are bearded) and orange canna lilies. Somehow, yellow just brightens things up. Mixing yellow with secondary colors is they way to go (at least for my tastes).
Ok, off to do something else.
I miss your blogging...
