Just a smidge tired...

Just a smidge tired now mind ya.. just a smidge..ha.

Today oldest daughter and I worked in the back yard for quite a while.

We moved pots from around the deck..emptied any that had old/dried up plants and then stacked them in nice neat piles way back at the back of the property..on a concrete pad.

Then we put down some stepping stones and mulch in the new "used to be deck" raised bed area by the patio..and also 2 bags of peat soil.

Then we put down about 8 bags of mulch in the rose garden area(a large flower bed that we created a couple months ago..and are just now getting around to mulching around all the plants)..it is looking very nice now.

We have another dozen bags of mulch to get laid down tomorrow.

Then we raked a bit in the backyard..and removed branch debris that had blown down into the yard.

Planted 2 yoshino cherry trees that we had in pots..that needed planting.

Planted 2 pittosporum plants also.Removed dead looking debris from around plants.

Alot got accomplished...and the yard isn't looking too shabby now..just still looks winterized..I must say..I'm looking forward to Spring..when everything will be new and green again.

Even in Florida..things turn brown and grey in the winter time and many plants can get frozen and die back to the ground..

I always enjoy the bright new green Spring colors...and new flowers springing up out of the ground.

Tomorrow our goal is to finish the mulching and tackle raking the front yard and sweeping the driveway/walk way.

Then..I'll have a little bit of my regular household indoor chores to do...

sheew....time for a nap soon huh? LOL

Nawww...actually I have a nice pot roast in the oven now..and I'm just "chillin'" out..relaxing now after a nice day of getting my yard back into shape.

There's more yet to do..

I have jasmine vines needing trimmed, and several other projects. Always something needing done...especially when you own your own home and have to do it all yourself.

But..the added bonus is..you can do it "your way".:0)
