In Bloom

Over the past few weeks,Wackie and I have been digging and planting new plants in our new expanded flower garden and watching the grass grow. I went on a second kick of buying new plants and taking some from our friend's yard (Thanks KEY & Peacock). Looking outside our kitchen window, our backyard is finally slowly coming together. Together we have made some much needed improvement in our back and front yard. It has all been inspired by the amount of "In Bloom" nominations that appear in so many of our neighbors yards. You see, every year, Edmontonians nominate yards that are well landscaped and well kept(flower gardens) and the top finalist are posted in the Edmonton Journal. As some of you may be checking it out in the Journal, these yards are beautiful. Although our yard is no where close to being there, we have the satisfaction of saying that we did our own landscaping and planting. Yes, those that have been chosen are those that have been professionally landscaped. It's not fair! But whatever. One day, maybe our flower garden will be nominated. If only Wackie would let me get rid of more grass for more flowers...
