Photos of the Week
Some of the small things that made me happy last week......
....... all except the dandelions. I can't say I'm happy about those pernicious little weeds all over my lawn. Oh well. I'm doing my best to focus on better things than dandelions and migraines, even though I can't get rid of either completely. I find it's better to look for the good stuff. The lilacs and kids playing cars in the grass. The signs that life is not all that bad.
Our New Parking Strip Design
This post is dedicated to my hard-working husband. (He totally wants me to write a post about his big yard project so I'll humor him..... he deserves it!)
When we moved into our home the yard was a total disaster. The parking strip in front of our house was full of weeds and ugly trashy trees. After two years of cutting down trees, pulling out stumps, digging out rocks, sifting dirt, laying cement, and laying down some weed block, drought tolerant plants, rocks, and wood chips....... our parking strip is complete!
We planted some Seaside Daisy, Basket of Gold, and Blueberry Ruffles Lavender. So pretty!
I am so glad we decided to do this instead of the typical grass parking strip that requires lots of water- half of which ends up in the gutter.... wasted. Yep, drought tolerant plants like these are the way to go here in Utah.
What do you have planted in your parking strip?
