Planting

Spring fever has set in, and coupled with the motivation to clean up our gardens for the forthcoming birthday celebrations, we have been planting up a storm. T.J. and I spent a couple of weekends ago fixing up the back garden, and I have been very pleased with the results. The tree in the center is our Texas Lilac tree which has just started to bud. In a few weeks it will be full of wonderful leaves and bright purple flowers.
Wait a second...who is in the garden?
And in the tree?
Yesterday afternoon, I finally completed the front, planting some impatiens and vincas. I did have a little help.
