This weekend Steve tore down part of that hideous chain link that was slammed up against our neighbor's very nice wooden privacy fence.
BEFORE:
This pict was taken last summer after the hydrangeas had faded and the weeds were in full force.
Note the chain link running along the privacy fence. Yuck!
AFTER:
Here it is now--in February. The chain link is gone! It looks a thousand times better--to me anyway. You can see we took out some of the hydrangeas to make way for three wonderful Tea Olives that had been planted under the magnolias--what were they thinking?! I do love a nice long bank of hydrangeas and plan to plant another one after we fill the HOLE.
Funny how small things make big impacts.
Here's a sign of spring that really perked me up.
Before we moved the first time back in 2009, I tried to pot as much of my garden as possible. Sad to say not a lot survived three moves. But it looks like this small bunch of daffodils is hanging in there. The fern in the back has done great. I bought it last spring as filler for the deck at Spence Ave. Maybe we need another or two?
The weather today is fantastic--highs in the 60s they say. I'm off to play in the yard and hunt for more signs of spring.
Later,
Patti
