Puttering around in the Yard

I always chide myself because I completely fail to take pictures of the thing I spend so much time on in the summer. Then I ask myself stupid questions in the fall like, "Hmm... did those Peonies ever bloom this year or not?" So, for once this year...

The whole set of photos appears here but a random assortment can be found below.

From the front... I'm always amazed at how good my camera is at completely washing out anything that's not green...



There's nothing sadder than an empty hand-made trellis...



I don't think I've ever mentioned how much I hate these Juniper bushes...



The motley collection of random plants along the in-law side of the house...



Isn't this just like watching your uncle's vacation slide show?



Yeah, that honeysuckle in the corner... really needs something a bit bigger than that bench to climb on. What bench you say? Exactly.





I probably haven't mentioned that it's almost Hibiscus time!



This is the corner where I started all this crap. As a note to my future self, "yes, dumbass, the peonies did bloom this year."



Odd-shaped island in the corner of the property. I'm guessing the neighbors are somehow not amused by these considering all my leftover bulbs go in here.
