and another started today. Hauled another big load of mulch to the new bed at the back of our yard. It will hold Iris and some different plants than the other beds. The re-blooming iris will go in there. One plant is re-blooming, a beautiful purple one. The others don't have signs of buds yet and it is late in the year. They may need digging so they will all go to the new bed.
Put weed/grass killer on the last spot to receive mulch, the load that is patiently waiting in the back of the little work horse. Don't know what I would do without that little truck. I think the recycle guys know us by name.
Found a great buy at Lowe's last week. It is a little 'rock pool'. Looks like a rock pool for sure. The water will trickle down the rock base into a rock pool then over a small bed of loose rocks and be recycled. It was $120 and on sale it was $39 dollars. Now if I couldn't pass it up, just think my surprise when I found this same rock pool at the Master Gardener booth at the Farmers Market this weekend. Seems our fearless leader found the same great buy. I loved being able to see what it would look like after installation. He had brought plants from home and made it look fantastic. Some of my plants already have a designated place around this little beauty.
Do you remember the little cat that found its way into my yard, then on to a neighbors yard and then dissappeared? We knew someone on the other street had had a party and our hope was that someone there had taken him home. That is exactly what happened. The party was in the home of another MG that I know and she told us a professor and his wife took the kitten home with them. It spent most of the party in the ladies lap. So we all had a laugh and I had an end to my story of the little kitten that wouldn't give up until he found just the right person to live with. The End!
Today is Columbus Day!! To refresh your memory (and mine) I did a web search and found this site. Cut and Paste and remember the days of our beginnings.
