Thanks for the yard compliments all. The picture was in May, when we have the best lawn. Most of it's Kentucky Bluegrass, but we have other kinds growing now. As long as we have rain it stays green. A lot of shade in the yard helps too. Today, it's still green, with a bit of yellowing. We treat for crabgrass and weeds, but not every year. DH mostly walks around every day pulling weeds :o) And people ask what he does with himself all day, being retired.

Chris, I will plant all of them! Our apple prices were still 99 cents. I like the Gala and Fuji and pick those that have a shiny waxy coat since I like mine crispy. They seem to be the newer batches.

Stella is so pretty! I have three, but they were all in the same bed. I moved two this fall to spread out the color.

We froze last night.

I took this picture the other day.
