...of gardens and fountains




Marvin has been working really hard the past few weeks, to make our front and back yard beautiful. I think it looks great! First we had the sidewalk from the driveway to the house front widened, then we took the bricks out and he put some decorative landscaping blocks instead, they are heavy, each block weighs 4 lbs! and put some decorative bark on top of the ground. Then he took everything off the area by the driveway, and planted lavender bushes. Looks really nice. He also worked in other areas of the front lawn. We also bought another crape myrtle tree, this one is watermelon red. I hope both myrtles bloom this summer :)
He also worked in the backyard, we got some pepper plants, and my strawberry plant is doing great. Saturday we went to Home Depot and bought a fountain. Marvin made a nice area where the old fountain was, and pout some bricks in a nice pattern and that's where we put the fountain today. It's really nice!
I put some pictures in Facebook, be sure to check the album called My Garden :) I am putting here a couple of pictures too.
In other news, just 15 days for the end of school, it went fast. Marvin will be going to Utah next month for Sandy's birthday and to spend a few days there and see Tristan play soccer.
Happy Birthday to Marty on his 49th birthday today.
