Planting finished...

We were up at 7:30am this morning and boy was it cold. We had a hot breakfast and I went outside to finish planting the plants. Beth took a shower and began vacuuming the house. I had on sweats and a long sleeve shirt. The sun was out so it was not so bad. I took the bird stuff out of the shed and set up the wild bird sanctuary. Next it was on to the metal statuary. I had to plant the white peony bush by the mail box, so off I went to do that. I am still looking for one more plant to put up there as a focal point. Not sure what it will be, but will keep looking. Moved to the back yard and was able to tie the daffodil plants. I set out the ceramic toad stools and bunnies. Since the drain is fixed, i put more dirt down to level out the bed. I planted a few flowers in pots by the bushes by the deck and set out the dangling dog and bug. I then put the pooh characters in Pooh's corner. I was getting a little hungry and went in for some lunch. The bug man came and we talked about the ant and mice problem we had and he went off to do his thing. We had lunch and a little rest too until he was done. We then went down to tackle the water fall leakage. We were able to resolve the issue by putting a few decorative rocks on the shelf. So for now we have no water leakage. The last thing left was to plant the flowers in the planters next to the waterfall. I began working on them and Beth worked on vacuuming the pool and brushing the dirt. After all of that, she had to clean the filters. Boy were they dirty. We only have the banana leaf plants left to plant and Beth is still working on that project. About 85% of the summer stuff is out of the shed. We are hoping to power wash the deck tomorrow and then we can put the rest of the stuff out. The back yard is looking really good and colorful. We have a frost warning tonight and I had to go cover all the tomato plants. I will have to watch the weather better for the next 3 or so weeks until the frost weather is over. Today's picture is of one of our pots with a cigar plant in it. I love those plants.
