It was absolutely beautiful here over the weekend! While Aaron was at a men's retreat with core community and I spent the whole weekend getting the weeds out and the flowers in!

I planted flowers in the hanging baskets on the patio.



Bought a lovely planter box I'd been eying since the middle of winter ....



... and re-potted some colorful flowers along the walkway.



The monster of the weekend was this strip of 'blah' that was between our fence and the sod we laid last fall. As you can see, the sod is quite healthy (too healthy, needs a trim!) and the area along the fence has been home to all kinds of weeds. Not any more!



This area (West side of yard) was also landscaped last fall and required some serious weeding and cleaning up. Now it is all ready for hostas, native grasses and flowers.




After it was all said and done Aaron was so surprised and I was really tired! It was a weekend well spent and once we get a mower we'll have our own little urban paradise. Well, getting there anyway!

Love to you all! Come visit soon!
