Yep, it's a Colorado Spring. Except instead of downpours followed by lots of steaming sun, it's actually been kinda crappy wet weather. Very surprising. I might have to buy a rain coat or something, I don't currently own anything waterproof except my nighttime undies.
But it did sun a bit on us this past weekend, so we got out and started some landscaping and gardening. Felt really good, I must say.
We're finally going to get our very trashy looking back fence in order by hiding it behind bushes, trees and flowers. The garden's been hoe'd a bit (tee hee) for the strawberries and tomatoes we're expecting to enjoy later this summer.
In honor of our newest family member, Liam, we planted the Bloodgood Japanese Maple on the side of our house to chop up 3 stories of blank wall and possibly cut down on the amount of sun blasting that area (in 10 years, maybe).
We picked up a few Boxwood bushes to get started in back, and generally found some nice perennials and annuals such as Obsession Red Verbena to start complementing the technicolors of our front garden and Le Patio.
Really do enjoy this gardening thing. Wish there was more time for it.
