A Change In The Yard

Saturday I woke up early and went to HomeDepot. It was time to dig up the huge weed in the backyard that I've been watering. I found this cute guy.




A Roryal Robe Potatoe Bush. Apparently it can be trained to a tree form. I don't think the dog liked having this in the front seat with him.






It was horrible getting the weed out but I finally got it. The bush looks so small here.

I also bought these pretty things.






And now if I can just get the
to stay this way I'll be a happy girl.








I'm slowly working on turning the patio into an inviting place but right now it's a dog napping area.

I would like to replace some plants in the backyard. I would still like low water plants but want some flowers and a little cohesiveness. Next week is spring break and I can't decide if I should spend the last couple days painting or working on the yard.

And here is a picture I snapped a few weekends ago of Deuce. He likes to drag his big stuffed toys outside. It gets old when he tries to take all 4 of them out each weekend. Apparently one needed it's own bed.






And l can't leave the other dog out since he now lives with me fulltime. I got this pic the same weekend. Probably right after I brought in some of the big toys. Looks pretty comfy (he's the black in the pile).







I like when I'm able to capture these moments.

Check the library for books on landscaping. Right now I have quite a few checked out. I just like to look at the pictures to get ideas. They should have several for the Southwest. There should be flowering plants that do well in your area. The plants you got are really cute.
