my guys rock!

this had turned into the biggest mess this year...

with all the rain the weeds took it over...

so they dug it all out and pulled and pulled and dug some more...

then added the top soil and potting soil...

manure will go in later...

dug one of the lavenders from out back...

and it went there...

moved a pot in here...

later this fall a pale pink knock out rose will go here...

moved the ball here...

it needs repainted...

bowling ball painted with bronze paint...

moved a shepherd's hook in...

and in comes the portulaca...

and that's it for now...

we have a good base to work from...

next year will have the rose bush and in front will be my pink begonias...

sparingly...

can you believe this?...

the blooms just exploded this morning...

and earlier this morning my dear, sweet husband pulled all the water grass out of the tomatoes...

it's just after noon here and it's only 81 out!...

but the hot weather is coming back again...

should hit Tuesday...

we were supposed to have more rain yesterday and last night...

but I sent it to Kathy who needs it so bad...

hope you got it, girl!...

we just got a little last night...

so it went somewhere...

Blessings to all of you and thank you so much for all the comments and just taking the time to stop by...

have a wonderful weekend!

it's such a nice, cool morning...

it's still in the 60's...

aftermath of last night...

picked a few more bloomers to go in the bowl...

dianthus...

I remember now why I don't do these...

too much work all the time...

they always need dead headed...

rose moss and petunia...

well, on to bigger and better things...

hope your garden smiles back at you today...

last night...

we finally had a cooler evening and spent it around the fire pit...

hubby really enjoys the lounger...

it was cloudy and overcast last night and still is this morning...

not sure what all we're going to get done today, if anything...

hope you have a good weekend...
