yard work

we have been working in our backyard a lot lately. it is one of our favorite things to do when spring is here, although Jason does more of the 'work' than i do. i have my hands full with entertaining the boys while Jason is busy in the yard. but i help when i can. plus Jason IS the landscaper, he knows A LOT more than i do about what plants can go where.we love hibiscus and palms. Jason just planted about 6 or 7 small (palm trees) in our back yard a couple of months ago. the big palm tree (above) was here when we moved in.last year we had a lot of red hibiscus, which Jason can't really see that well against the green leaves, (he's color blind) so this year we went with pinks and yellows. they are really pretty right now and only get better in the summer.my small project (and was at our other house as well) is morning, and evening glories. i LOVED them at our other house. so i planted both about a month ago. they started growing pretty fast and are already climbing their way up the fence. this is about three weeks of growth. soon it will be covered with flowers.since we have shade now, (at our other house we didn't have much), Jason planted a lot of flowers and plants that love shade under our big tree.soon they will (hopefully) cover the the flowerbed. Jason asked me to marry him on this bench. it is pretty special to us, so it made the move with us to our new house.and of course we have our favorite cardinal. the boys and i feed him a lot. Jason buys cardinal food where he buys his lawn equipment. the cardinals love it. i REALLY need a zoom lens. this is the best i could do. he was in our neighbors tree.
