semi busy day...

it didn't start out very productive...
really slept in this morning...
but by the time I got moving, the sun was really warm...

I worked out here for an hour or so...
and then road around the yard on the mower picking up sticks and running the dogs around...

for all the rain we got, its still bone dry!

all of this just so we don't have to move this old glider when we mow...
I need more bricks or pavers...
but that will happen soon enough...

peonies have tiny little buds on them!

and so that's the day's improvement...

found some wild strawberries on the very north edge of the yard...
this is the second siting in 4 days of a bunch of lady bugs...

maple trees are leaving out and making helicopters...

autumn clematis...

weeds, flowers, weeds, tree, weeds, bike, weeds...

lily of the valley liked the rain...

so much more to do, but we have all summer to finish it!

Tete, Your yard will be gorgeous before long. I always love seeing your flowerbeds and little nooks of treasures. I did get the top soil and grass seed down yesterday. I am wore out. Here's the sad part...I think I need another bag of seed. Good grief. I really need to call the lawn man out...I think he needs to see this yard. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
