Anticipation...

Tag: high grass again..
We had one day of cloudy,now we're back to rain for a couple more days.There's some unusual looking fungus growing on the lawn-quite funny looking.I did finally have 1 hour to plant some tulips-hyacinths-a  new iris- in the rock garden.Got the batch of "Skagitt Valley" tulips out of the hosta bed -now waiting for this weekend to get them in-and they had lots of babies.Have another small batch of red tulips to dig up and move.That will be great to see spring bulbs in the rock bed.This has turned out to be my favorite bed.I dont have to compact the soil at all by treading on it as I can reach all spots from standing-sitting on the flat rocks.Did a Home Depot run for additional materials to finish the 3 areas we're working on. Raining now-housework today and clear-contain the clutter building up. Lots of rain here-more today-tomorrow,then sunny-cloudy for the weekend. The stove people called-our stove is in, they hook it up saturday. Eeha..We got the chair rail & baseboard up- layed the lineoleum,will do the edges tonite. One wall that's finished,and looks great- so the anticipation of the whole room eventually getting done is exciting. I get back to the mudroom today-tomorrow.More planting of bulbs on saturday. A new bearded Iris this year- a gorgeous blue-look forward to next summer when it blooms. A new red tulip, & one giant white Allium. Will also move the purple Alliums to the rock garden. Jim is happy he can get back to the carport this weekend,finishing the walls, and I'm happy to move the wood pile to its final destination. Lots of grass to cut...
