I have been in such a good mood lately because spring is here! There is just something about everything coming back to life and the warm weather that makes me happy. I enjoy yard work (except weed eating :( lol...I like the fun parts...like planting flowers and watching them grow. I sprinkled some Miracle Grow Shake n Feed on my flowers and I swear they are already filling out. That stuff works!
The yard is greening up and everything is filling out!
I've had this cute bunny for a few years now...I just love him! Are you ready for Easter?
We added the red mulch this weekend. It made the beds look so much better!
We added this bed a few years ago and the river Birch tree is doing great. It is always exciting to see something we planted actually live and grow! lol...
We also added all of the landscaping and brown fence about four years ago. We live on a corner lot and this side of the house was bear and the air conditioner stuck out like a sore thumb!I am going to plant some flowers on this side of the house soon.
Before I knew it the clematis was blooming! The flowers are just beautiful.
Kevin planted the garden this weekend. He planted tomatoes, red bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, broccoli and cantaloupe. I'm really excited about the cantaloupe...we didn't plant it last year and I hope it does well. Any tips?
I've showed you this back patio, but I added the pot of flowers in between the chairs. Yep...more flowers! I would have more if I could fit them somewhere! lol...
Look at this little baby red eared slider turtle. Yes I know my turtles! lol...My little neighbor found him in the road! She immediately brought him to me because she knows I'm a turtle lover. He is only the size of a half dollar. I'll keep him for a while and eventually set him free. 
Thanks for checking out my yard and flowers! Have a great Wednesday!!
Kristen, your yard looks fabulous! All of your hard work definitely shows!! Great job, girl!
ReplyDeleteYour yard looks so nice. I love the landscaping and the Bunny too.
ReplyDeleteIt's still cold here in Washington State.
Your yard looks great!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish we would get some sun here, at least, Kristen! It is definitely a mood dampener with clouds and rain every day so far. I can't wait to plant some flowers, but we wait until Mother's Day weekend for the last frost. The grass is really green though and I'd like to get outside and weed the beds. Hopefully, we'll get a dry day that I can do that!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! sure does make me want to get motivated! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yard, Kristen. Love all of your flowers ... and, again, your back patio is such an awesome retreat ... I'm sure you guys are out there a lot. Have a great day,

You have a beautiful yard! Your patio looks to cool and relaxing. All the flowers are soo pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your neighbor rescued that little turtle and helped him find a home. My boys found one on the sidewalk some years ago. We kept him as a pet for a little while and then let him loose in the bayou.
Kristen, your porch and yard are just FANTABULOUS! Love it all!! You definitely have the touch with ALL kinds of flowers! Happy Easter!
