Thanks all, especially SongsofJoy who held my hand through all my dumb questions. I have no fish, I am happy without them. DH might like a few, but we are not going there, yet. Though I have a dear male friend who so wants to dig me a really big pond with lots of fish in it just beyond where this one ends in a low sunny spot. He lives in NYC so he is desperate to dig or chop or do anything that requires hard labor, but only in short and not reliable bursts. He is coming up in late May. I must figure out something besides a giant hole that I don't want for him to do while he is visiting.

Ge1836, the bear is cool, but I agree he needs some greenery around him to hide in and scare people who wander by.

Now, I want to see what SongsofJoy new project is as she always has something major and stunning on her spring plate. Fess up and with pictures, please.

My mulch is arriving, two trucks full. Guess what I will be doing for the next few days? But we hired a couple of people to help. DH has covered it up so it doesn't get any heavier with more rain to come tonight.

Here is a link to my photo's taken in the beds this week. We had too much rain! Many tulips ruined. I took no photo's today as it has been fogging and damp. I did manage to edge some beds and deadhead all the spent blooms. Need to rest up for the mad mulching. Enjoy. Patti
