Halley's Flower Bed in Progress

So we've been slowly getting my flower bed so it looks nice. We have done quite a bit so far since the weather has been nice. This might be as far as we get this year. We'll see. It depends on our money situation. There's a lot of things I want to get done. Here are some pictures of what we have done so far.



I had tilled the main part with a shovel and hard work and then Doc Scott came over to till our garden and he did my flower bed as well. It took him like 10 minutes to go over it where it took me a million years! Okay maybe not that long, but it was a lot longer than 10 minutes becasue I don't have a cool machine. At least I got a workout. I am going to put a bird bath in the center of the bigger bulge and put red mulch around it and then the rest of that part is going to be perennial flowers. I have them picked out but we haven't bought them yet.


In this area there is going to be a bench along the fence over the stone and then there's going to be some flowers in the dirt to the side. We planted those last night. And then we made a little walkway out of the red stepping stones. The walkway is going to continue into the back section once we get that done and then it will fork back into the front bigger section. We're really excited! I think it's going to look really cool!


The gate in this picture is kind of skewed because this is where Benjamin gets in and plays in the dirt! If we put the gate up while he is in there he gets upset and pushes it down and then goes back to playing in the dirt. He absolutely LOVES playing with a shovel in the dirt, but we don't know where a park is that has sand in the playground. It's either mulch or rubber. Maybe someday we'll make a sandbox for him :)

We hope everyone has a GREAT EASTER and a fabulous week!!!
