Cleaning out the front garden



The beginning of the end for the front garden. All the self-seeders and weeds are coming out. Everything except the azaleas and lilies which get another chance. Here's David shaking off a matted pile of weeds. Love the storm weather gear - perfect for gardening! Once we've dug everything out then we'll cover all the bare bits with mulch and start planning.........

That's our neighbours dogwood tree in the background.

Patio Furniture

We looked for some patio furniture that would sort of fit the Caribbean theme. Looking at pictures online and from our memory, we saw most sets were either wood, or painted those great Caribbean colors  - good old Leewind Paints. We may paint them later a cool Caribbean Blue, or Coral.

Rose found this set at a good deal, assembly required. Seems nice, we can now have coffee in the morning and a 'Sundowner' in the evening overlooking our garden and trees.

I guess I need to clean up the patio now - I'll get right on that...
