This is along the north property line, and will be easier to finish, as the existing perennials are far enough apart that we can work around them with the fabric. Spent most of yesterday pulling up thistles and crabgrass and finding some perennials that had disappeared in the jungle. There's a row of hosta in the back that are going to be dug out and moved along side the new garage, and replaced with some thing that we can see. Maybe daisies and cone flowers. After the fabric is down, we'll get more wood chips for top dressing. I'd like to put more sedum along the outer edge, as the hosta tend to get fried in late summer when the sun hits them. While I was out taking the pics it started raining again, so we won't be out too early today. Two of my $3 rose bushes once again survived the winter!! And the bright spot is the peony I forgot was there.

Molly, your four lilies are in the middle somewhere and doing well. Can't wait to see them bloom...will send pics when they do.

Mary, the start of that ride must have been miserable. Hope the injury heals quickly and doesn't give future problems. Bet the kitties were happy to have you home. They don't express their joy like dogs, but they sure let you know you were missed. Ours all come running to scold us if we are away for any length of time..naturally, they are starving...even if there's food in their dishes.

DH was determined to get the grass cut last evening, about half way through it started to rain, and he just kept mowing. By the time he got done, I had started dinner and when he came in I said we're too dirty to eat so we showered and finally finished dinner about 8 pm.

Robert, that arbor is looking better and better, what a nice job. Congrats to Immy for finishing up her classes, she's a good girl!

Good luck to the new thread starters. I wrote down the instructions and only messed up a couple of times. My only problem was remembering to start it up before bedtime, and then if there were people still posting, I was afraid there would be so many notes after the new link that people would forget where it was. Eventually I stopped worrying about it. I just looked at it as my small part in keeping Coffee alive and well, no thanks needed.

I had some more comments to make but they've fled my brain, so I'll have to settle for a ~~~~~~~~~ at everyone, and go fetch the vacuum and the carpet cleaner to clean up my inside mess. If there's any typos in this, they are going to remain....
