Little by little.............




Bottom picture shows the shrubs we found in Moscow yesterday. They're a caryopteris that will get fragrant blue flowers. They were new to us. Leryl added penstemons that we picked up in Oregon to the front. The top picture is to the left of the porch step. These have some growing to do. Might have to replace them but we're going to try them. Picked these up in Oregon, as well. Emerald gaiety euonymus & the purple ones are a type of weigela. Keep your fingers crossed that it all grows!!!

LIttle Rocks.............



So.....we're getting started on the landscaping! We added grasses & round rock to the front bed. We have more to go but you get the idea. The bottom picture is Leryl enjoying a little time in the wine barrel chairs Jennifer, Ryan & Andrea gave me. We love them! Stay tuned......we're making progress & hopefully, it won't be 2 month until my next post. We're getting close on the sprinkler system & grass. It will be SO nice to be without dirt!!! I can't wait! We've had 2 sets of company, Brysons & the girls from Scappoose. They all said "NO" to the rail. So....we're probably going to save ourselves some money & go without. Greg has said that from the get go so now I'll have to admit to him that he's right!!! Thanks for checking.
