I'm listening to the birds sing as I sit here in my recliner this evening. There is an occasional crow from someone's rooster. I love listening to the birds sing.
So glad that we live out in the country. There's not as much traffic as there is in town out here.
The weather has been pretty decent. We haven't had to turn the ac's on yet. Open the windows and turn the ceiling fans on. My kind of weather.
I'll have to try and post a picture of the progress on my current project later. The picture is taking too long to upload.
Hope you all have a good weekend.

This Years Plants
I love flowers!!!! I try to plant at least one or two different kinds of flowers every year. Perennials are the best. They come back every year. Here's what I've planted, so far, this year.
Garnet Glow Calla Lily
Gaura Perky Pink
Coreopsis Ruby Jewel
Muhlgrass
Aptenia
Aptenia
Ok, so, I planted more than just one or two flowering plants this year. I couldn't resist the pretty flowers. LOL!!!! I have two different kinds of Marigolds that I need to get into pots and there is the two different kinds of Lavender seeds that I need to get sprouted. I love Lavender. It smells so good.
Just Some of the Yard Work That I've Been Doing This Spring
We have leaves and vines....

I finished a portion of the upper yard last week.
The landscape fiber was put down today. I'm hoping to get this part of the yard under control and keep it that way. I looked for some phlox to put on the hillside. Walmart and Lowe's don't have any yet. May just have to settle for dividing what I have. I cleaned the flowerbeds out last year and that was about it. It was too hot and there was way too many mosquitoes last summer.
I disturbed someone's habitat when I was pulling the honeysuckle and wild blackberry bushes up.
The Dogwoods were full of blooms this year....
I promised to show some pictures of the dogwoods out here at the house awhile back. Finally getting around to posting them. The Dogwood is my favorite tree.
