August? Already?

the months are just zipping by...

still working on the grass growing...

rose of Sharon is finally blooming with more little buds happening...

the standing water must have stunned it a bit...

DH and I worked in the yard last weekend...

and we cut back all the day lilies...

showing signs of fungus starting...

so this will get air movement back in there and dry things out...

we also relocated the deer family over here...

we have still got a bit to do, but I finally feel like we are getting there...

we got a small tiller/ cultivator on sale last week and picked it up...

its going to help out so much...

we have had cooler days, even cooler nights and the humidity is lower...

we have to get things done now before winter...

????

sedum coming up under the fern...

sedum is blushing already...

I have got 2 kitties ready to post for adoption...

it will be last of September before the others will be ready...

been having some family conferences since Craig came back...

he was beginning to get an attitude problem and I think we nipped that in the bud...

trying to decide what to do here for the ground covering...

another bag or 2 of the pea gravel?

(which washed away in the standing water)

or just use pavers?

making plans on where to create a new garden, too...

we can get the prep work done this fall so all we have to do is till and weed and plant in the spring...

and we are still working on the rose garden...

will see how time goes and what we can get done in between working and weather...

we need to get some painting done, too...

deck touch ups, back steps and swing before the leaves start coming down...

have a good week!
