So, we had our community meeting here and they announced the winner of the 'Spring Clean Up Contest". ME! Yay! Got a nice little white flower pot, gardening gloves, a new trowel and cultivator, some flower seed packets and a $25 gift card for Walmart! How nice! Of course, I already went to Walmart and 'spent' the card! I got a Clematis, a Mandevilla (both for the back arch) 2 small ornamental grasses, some Zinnias and Marigolds and I also bought my daughter her beloved Calla Lilies.
I went over to Lowe's too and got another fence post so I can use one of the sections of fence as a 'gate' between the front and back parts of the yard.
I'm glad I decided to put some solar path lights along the new flower bed on the 'street side' of the property. Even though I didn't get them in until late afternoon, they got enough of a charge to be lit last evening. Tonight should be even brighter!
My daughter has been taking pictures and posting them on Facebook. I think my grandson is the better 'photographer'! He has a good instinct for composition!
