GRASS!!

Well it wasn't hot but it sure was wet!! After a few stops during heavy rain the grass was down by mid afternoon on Saturday and we sat back and let nature do its work... we couldn't possibly have given the grass as much water as it has gotten in the last couple of days so it made our jobs a lot easier.

































We have been telling ourselves that once the grass is down out the front we can slow down a bit and actually get our weekends & down time back a bit. But now that the grass is down I can't stop thinking about the plants in the front and what we should do..... and I would really like to plant something now.... impatient?? me?? never....

I really like the little gem magnolias and was hoping to plant them down the driveway on the right hand side, we are also tossing up between a murraya hedge or a gardenia hedge along the alleyway just so that people don't cut across the grass out the front.

Any suggestions??
