It's Easy Being Green

Mom and Dad came to visit in February, and between several museum visits, they put a dent in the outdoor chores at the house.  The crummy, cold, wet weather didn't slow us down, and the rain definitely helped loosen up the ground for digging.  We worked mainly in the front yard to clean up and reposition some of the vegetation.

Dad and I planted some hedges by the gap in the fence
Mom weeded under the jacaranda tree in the front yard, helping the lilies and irises reclaim their own space.
Mom and Dad scrape the plentiful mud from their shoes.

The lime tree started popping out some baby fruits.  Can't wait for some fresh juice!
Mom rescued this ornamental nectarine that emerged from a dead stump under the back fence.

  1. Sorry to heat about the guest shower. I am sure I would have been crying just a wee bit. It is great to see your parents helping out. Your yard is so amazing. We still have snow on the ground here. Have a great week. BB
