Our Hard Work is Finally Paying Off!!






Our hard work is finally paying off. I wanted to share some pictures of our yard. We got home Sunday from Houston where we had gone to a friend's wedding and the Texas Sage were in full bloom. It literally happened overnight. The plants next to them are Texas Lilacs. They have tripled in size since we planted them in the spring. They are a really good plant for hot, dry climates. The other pictures are of the flower bed in the back yard. We've wanted to put flower beds back there for years, but we finally did one this year. We plan to buy a tiller and really go to town back there next year. We planted dwarf weeping crepe myrtles, pittsporium and impatiens, mostly. Everything is doing so well. Just hope we can keep it watered enough to keep everything alive. I also wanted to show a picture of the patio cover we had built last year. Most of you haven't seen that. We're really enjoying it when it's not too hot to go out!

Love, Debbie
