Here's what we did this weekend.

One of my gardening/green goals for 2008 was to landscape the front yard. This project had been in the "thinking-it-out" phase for a LONG time. We started digging last weekend but got cut off by a good amount of rain. This weekend was warm and sunny -- fortuitous for finishing the project.

I should say, the major framework of the project is done. The actually planting won't be done for a while.....or maybe never! That's one of the joys of gardening. It can always be a work in progress.

So, with a minimum (well, actually moderate) amount of bickering over how to do it, what the other one actually meant, how long to keep working, etc., we got it done.












That really, really awesome, Southwestern-looking tree on the right is a False Cypress Pom Pom tree. Coolest tree EVER. It looks kinda like this





but bigger and thicker.




The tree on the left is a Snow Fountains Weeping Cherry. It's supposed to bloom with white flowers in the spring.



Is that not beautiful?!




So ONO and I are standing around admiring our handiwork and he turns to me and says:

"It's June 1 and this project is done. What are you gonna have me do all summer?"
