For you, mom...

It might be too hard to see, but Kyle and I planted some summer color out in front this year. This is the view from our kitchen window. I was really happy with the paperbark maple that we planted along with the rose of sharon and the other things, but nothing had that summer color. So, we went to our trusty nursery - Bloomers - and asked what would be good. We decided on some coreopsis, hummingbird mint, loebella, and some lupine - which we happened to get a white, a purple, and a pink without even trying. These additions make me smile whenever I am doing dishes - which is a lot these days because our dishwasher is out of service for now!

Your yard is amazing! Even though neither you nor Jason showed any interest in the yard and plants growing up, both of you and your spouses enjoy the yard and gardening. I want to see a picture later in the summer after the plants have grown a while....yours will grow so much faster than mine do!
