Thanks everyone. It's been a lot of fun really. I did that one long bed on the left in one day, then planted the next. I was on a roll that week!! lol
And yes, I have been buying plants like crazy, but only because I needed to & that was soooo much fun!!! I got great deals though so that was nice.

It's been amazing to see all my neighbors & friends coming over to see what I am up to everyday. lol They are wondering what is going on everytime I back the truck in. I guess they know I have a load of something or another. lol

The fun is not over yet as we are starting the deck this week. Dh has some nice plans. Nothing fancy, but will be for us.
We are going to do a 'floating'/'low profile' style, maybe 1 step up, curved around the pond to have a slight 'overlooking' of it and squared off all the way to the wall. You can see the shaping in the pic. On the other side there is junky stuff to throw out. Jeep mudding tires, raggedy trailer, etc. That stuff has got to go!!

I still have to pressure wash the dirt/mud off the house & fill in a few holes where some bushes were I had just planted. (They were not happy in so much shade!!) I gave them to the girl that helped me lay the sod. She has full sun at her place.

Will post more pics as progress continues. Will be a busy weekend for us!! YAY!!
