Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

Yesterday afternoon Kevin mowed the yard and I went over to our neighbor's house to check out their flower beds to get some ideas. We then headed to Menards and were not impressed with their selection. We got a few lillies, a turtle garden stake, and a black lab welcome statue for our front porch. After Menards, we went to Home Depot, which had a much better selection of flowers. We bought some lillies that were twice the size of the ones we bought at Menards. We also bought some petunias, snapdragons, and an azalea bush. When we got home, we unloaded everything and then I worked on pulling out weeds and dead brush out of the flower beds while Kevin raked up the dried grass in the front yard.

This afternoon is supposed to be nice, so I hope to get all the flowers planted in the beds and pots for the front porch and back patio. Depending on how far they go, I might have to make another trip to get some more annuals. I might also make a few hanging baskets as well.
