Yes, Yardening. The action of working in my yard and garden, which is what I did this afternoon after a late birthday lunch with my friend and co-worker, Barbara.
Here are a few pictures...
 |
| The beginning... |
 |
| The sad, lonely boxwoods and snapdragons that I inherited...not staying! |
 |
| Garden is planted! I had baby plants of bell pepper, rosemary, squash and tomatoes. My sweet corn, basil, dill, chives, radishes, leeks, scallions, zucchini, watermelon, cucumbers were all seeds...let's just hope it grows! |
 |
| My patio is finished! Notice the boxwood planters now have beautiful pink hydrangeas and I also found two Adirondack chairs today. A man here in town makes them and I have always wanted some! |
 |
| My whiskey barrel full of lilies, calla lilies, petunias and sweet potato vines. Lillie's are one of my favorites! Lillie's, tulips and orchids are my favorite flowers....just a small FYI. |
 |
| Beautiful! |
 |
| This is my birthday present from Heath and Elisabeth. I have to tell ya, I love this! I love pulling up in my driveway and seeing this beautiful POP of color in my yard. Love, love, love!! It got its first dose of Miracle Grow water yesterday. I can't wait for the colorful stems to be draping down! |
 |
These are the ferns that my parents gave me for my birthday! They came from the "flower lady" in Century. I miss her so much! I do believe I went to see her at least once a month when I lived at home.

I am sure that I will pay for the lifting and bending tomorrow, but sitting in one of my new chairs, I am completely convinced that it was all worth it!
