ENJOYING THE BEAUTIFUL OUTDOORS!

CHIQUITA LOVES TO BE OUTSIDE ONLY IF IT IS NOT RAINING OR SNOWING. THE OTHER NIGHT WE HAD SOME WICKED THUNDER, SHE WAS SCARED TO DEATH. WHEN CHIQUITA GOES OUTSIDE WITH ME, SHE IS PRETTY GOOD ABOUT STAYING IN OUR YARD. SHE BARKS BUT DOES STAY IN THE YARD.

APPLE TREES

WE HAVE NOT HAD MUCH OF A SPRING DUE TO THE LATE SNOW AND RAIN STORMS, I WAS HAPPY TO SEE BLOSSOMS ON OUR APPLE TREES. OUR PEACH TREE IS NOT LOOKING TOO GOOD, WE WILL HAVE TO DIG IT UP AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE NURSERY. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING SOME PEACHES. IT TAKES SOMETIMES 3-4 YEARS TO YIELD FRUIT EVEN IF YOU HAVE BLOSSOMS.

I HAVE TO BRAG ABOUT MY BEAUTIFUL TULIPS

I HAVE A PASSION FOR FLOWERS ESPECIALLY IF I GROW THEM. I GET EXCITED EVERYTIME I SEE A FLOWER GROW AND THRIVE. I JUST LOVE THE COLORS AND FRAGRANCE-TO ME IT IS A GIFT FROM GOD. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE MANY VARIETIES.

MAY 21ST-SATURDAY, FIXIN UP THE BACKYARD.

IT WAS RAINY AND OVERCAST FOR A FULL WEEK, THIS WAS THE FIRST DAY WE HAD WITH SUNSHINE TO PLANT SOME MORE IN THE YARD. IT WAS JUST GREAT BEING OUTSIDE .

BACKYARD RETREAT-HOPEFULLY.

The plan is to get our garden planted,put up a fence on the sideyards and finish the water fall that runs down the rock river we did last spring, it will recyle back up to the water fall and continue to run. We will get patio furniture and awning over the patio, I want to be able to go outdoors in the back and enjoy the views of the mountains and weather. We are tring to get it done, it takes time and $$$

PLANTING THE BACKYARD.

Bill and I still have to plant our garden (which is in the dirt area) this year we are doing grow boxes instead of planting in the ground. Last year I had to pull weeds everyday to keep it controlled, we did good for our first garden. But I think it will be easier to maintain the growth and weeds in grow containers.

PLANTING THE SIDE YARD

After I planted flowers in the front yard, then I planted the side and corner yard. You don't realize how big the yard is until you start planting. You think you have bought alot of plants until you plant them they look minature in comparison.
