Just some quick shots of my yard and the flowers that finally grew after two years of wondering. I am posting this for my mother-in-law who helped me. I am not doing this to boast. I wish it was my doing but I am slowly learning that a green thumb is either a gene or takes a lot of time to learn. It officially is too cold for flowers here now. So, here comes the dreary snow and the brittle branches. One great thing-we finally have lines in our yard from the lawnmower which means our grass is finally growing. Note to self for the future---A half an acre is way high maintenance. I don't know how people with even larger yards do it???
