Sunday, we worked on the backyard. A month or so ago, we pulled up the old wood tie rails surrounding our screen enclosure (I would link to those pictures, but I can't even access my own blog at work) and then laid the edgers. We also had added a traveler's palm to the back corner and we going to try and create a sitting area. We finished that up this weekend and added a hedge to the area around the pool.
There are all kinds of plants in the corner that should hopefully grow and fill in the area. Plus, I planted lavender, which I hope will smell up the area and attract butterflies. As you can see, Shey is enjoying it already.
I couldn't get a good shot of the hedge because the sun was going down, but here is the overall backyard from our back door.
We also bought the two palms in the planters. Our own little get away. I love looking out there. It calms my soul.
Our bottle brush tree is also in full bloom and the boys discovered that it's a pretty good climbing tree.
It's their Giving Tree.
