Pony, You would be surprised of how accurately you described Lynnweidman's garden projects:

"And when he comes home, he'll love everything I did, even though he likely would have argued against them beforehand."

Every time I drop by when her DH is at work or gone for a day or two she has another section of lawn dug up, new bushes planted, top dressed, and beautiful! He was against her doing it in the first place, but the end result is wonderful!

Willow, I just love your lilly...so peaceful!

Sally, WOW what a project! Deck replacement is NO fun, but it is always so gratifying to look at the end result...especially if what you were starting with was in bad shape. Mine is due, but we are going to try to get away with just replacing a few boards instead thank goodness! I like the idea of the composite for maintenance. You did a gorgeous job with staining your other one, but imagine not ever having to stain again! Mine is in the weather with a herd of dogs regularly tromping over it, so I have to stain it every year if I want it to look decent. Skipped this year as the spring was so wet, and now my pots are on the deck and I don't want to move them all.......good excuse, huh? Doesn't look as nice, but that's life!

Was home too late last night to get very many pics of the yard, but it was wonderful to wander anyway...now that the sun has come back out, stuff is really coming along.
