Do you remember the Snoop Sisters, Mom?  I bet you'd remember THIS episode! I've been searching for a good quality clip of this...

Productive! Yay! Wait - it never ends

last two days of work - purslane ground cover planted (after some weeding). Runaway soap wort fenced, mulch around newly planted trees and the red bud, more weeding, lawn mowed, weed whacking partly done, replanted a squash, more weeding, Nick began the firepit, spread mulch in the larger garden. Propane purchased for grilling chicken!

This included three trips to Home Depot yesterday. This in addition to the dishes I must do, the chicken I need to cook and floors that need mopped and scrubbed.
That last one probably won't get done today! LOL

 Crab apple #1
 our "dwarf" crape myrtle

 Nick & Jackie starting the fire pit - crab apple #2 in foreground

 problem corner we need to tackle.  Going to put a retaining wall in front of the retaining wall, the decaying wood and spaces will act like a "french drain" and help reduce soil erosion

 adding purslane as ground cover at the problem corner

 our red bud "bush" - it's probably 30' tall

 snap dragons, a surprise lily return and weeds (working on the last ones there)

 soap wort being fenced in!

 my purslane is happy today

 re-setting pavers and weeding.  Note the marigolds in the tub.  Love ya, Mama

 our grand supervisor - Deacon! Today he almost caught a bird flying over him.  The old man still has it!
