This Memorial Day, Stace thought he might have to work quite a bit at his job. But, after handling something Friday night after the girls were in bed, he didn't get called back in again.
That didn't mean he didn't work, though!
He's had a vision of nice outdoor lighting for over a year, and this was the weekend to see it through.
Stace spent much of Saturday and Sunday working in the garden. Thankfully, it was a lot cooler than it had been, so he could do so.
Here's the other corner of the garden, with "Cora and Violet's Orchard." We have blueberry, raspberry and blackberry bushes here, plus our orange and tangerine trees. All but the blueberries are new this spring, so we'll see how they produce.
To give our flower beds that crowning touch, Stace spread out a dozen bags of mulch. I've been wanting to do this for a while, since I keep reading how good mulch is for plants during our hot summers.
Once Stace laid it out, he agreed that it was the right move. What an amazing difference it makes to the look of our raised beds. Wow. Between that and the lights, we really want to hang out in our own yard!
In this photo you can see the pink cape mallow plants in bloom. We're so happy we put in these large, drought-tolerant bushes, following a tip from the garden section of the newspaper. They're supposed to bloom pretty much year-round!
