The yard

Hannah planted some Cosmos seeds. We have planted them in the ground...hopefully they will be beautiful!



We have planted some Forsythia shrubs, Lantana, Blue Saliva, Dwarf Gardenia, Shasta daisies, Lavender, a Banana tree, Gaura, yellow Jasmine, wispy grass and Lavender.



I am hoping to get over to a friends to dig in her yard finding some honeysuckle, day lilies and another shrub.

I want to build a terracotta pot bird bath but we will have to wait on that. The girls and I are going to be making some homemade bird feeders to go back there as well. I am hoping to attract some wildlife in this cookie cutter neighborhood we live in. I would love to see butterflies, humming birds and such come visit us.

Another goal of ours is to create a little bit of privacy since right now you can see right up into our neighbors house. Hopefully the shrubbery will give a filtering screen for us and them.

We have also planted a Red Sunset Maple in the front yard. We've already seen it bloom from just a trunk and stem...exciting!
