Playtime

Happy Monday to you~
Every year when my sweetie leaves on his golf trip, I go crazy in our yard and spend oodles on plants. This year I decided to scale back alot and told him I'd only be getting some six packs as well as a birdbath; in all honesty I did really scale back(I only got a 1/3 of what I normally do)but it was more than I planned. I've got some pots filled with petunias, johnny-jumpups and one very nice pot. However, now that I've started the planting, I'm feeling the need to get more six packs for the beds.
This bed contains wild roses that pop up everywhere and my daylillies continue to spread.  If you click on the pic, you can see the cute birdbath that I got-it's a fairy one and even though it's smaller, it was very heavy for me to lift out of my trunk and carry to the backyard.
This is the bed on the other side of the yard; last year I had vege's in here but with our bunny I don't think I'll be planting any.  My mint, from last year, also went nuts so I took it all out so it didn't impact my Lilac bush.  This is where I need more fillers and shredded bark to cover the dirt; I think I'll hit Home Depot this week for the fillers, my girl just told me that they have them at the store for .69 cents a six pack.  Now that's a good deal. 
I still have to hit the quilt store for baby fabric this week and begin to design the quilt and start on it; it is going to be a warm few days so I know I'll be outside in the yard a lot.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and have a day filled with contentment!
