my brother is going to help me with the concrete pad, found out you can rent the mixer from home depot. i can't wait for that. have son painting the concret on the front porch, and the only major household job outside will be to change the gutters.
i was wondering if a stick of dynomite would help with the lilac roots (i am only joking), but if i could get away with it.....
i have to say, i'm very happy with the garden and how it emerged this year, and it looks lovely in the fire light. i will have to remember to take pictures some night. am finally going to have pictures of the mystery plant in my garden, hope someone can identify it for me, and now that i learned to post pictures, look out!!

well, here it is, the middle of july....everything is, or should be in full swing....yeah, right...
the fire pit is finished...and is very nice to sit around (when it's not too windy) have two lanterns near and a couple of tiki torches also so i can see what i'm doing in the dark....it's kinda nice that the two street lights go off every now and then so you can appreciate the fire, and i like the way the flowers look in the glow. am calling a guy to put a concrete pad at the back of my house...so that should be done shortly....and my next biggest chore is to dig out the lilac bush...i've decided to plant tall ornamental grasses in the corner for a screen. i've done a little research and there are a few that grow 5-6 ft tall. been pulling out tons of plants that i don't want to reseed....don't know what they are, but i've had them for about 6 or 7 years, and they're nice....the fill in alot of ugly spots (in front of the shed) but enough is enough....will have to post pictures of them, maybe someone can let me know what they are...can't find them in any book. will be getting some pictures back this week, and will try and post to show some of my work.
