What I've been up to...Part 2! the yard!

So outside of the sewing room we have been busy with lots of other things.
We bought our home in January of this year and have since been working on our lawn and landscaping. We are doing things slowly, but surely ;) I have really enjoyed the process. We are almost done with the front bed and here are some pictures of it.

Gardenia. These have always been a favorite of my dad's and they ALWAYS make me think of him.

Sunpatients!

love this climbing plant!

 That's it from the front...............Here's what we've done in the back!

Zoysia!! We had sod laid in February and I ABSOLUTELY love it!!

the pond....and the fence that Ronnie built for me to hide "his" area ;)

the plant that my bestie, Lisa gave me!

duck eggs! I only use them for baking, but it's still nice to have them.
