Best thing ever! Someone built a life-size version of the Mousetrap game. I loved that game! Apparantly at the end of this one, a 2 ton safe drops on a piece of cheese. I love it!
Sunday was a bit of a bust in terms of yard work. I woke up to an absolute deluge of rain and can't claim to have accomplished much of anything except a grocery store run and some reading. I have to admit it was relaxing.
I need to find something of architectural interest for the back bed. I've got some leftover fenceposts and Kev said he'd plant that for me so I could hang some bird houses or windchimes on it. What'd I'd like would be something like the green foldout screen by your bamboo screen but made of copper. I suspect that's way out of my budget so I might have to go for the pre-greened ones at Home Depot. It's going to be a long time before that bed is fully populated and grown and, even then, it's a long expanse of plants and needs some interest points. Any suggestion for very long raised bed?
I ordered a bunch of daffodils from Bluestone today. I double ordered a Daffodil Replete (Daffodil link) as I thought it was quite pretty. Now that I have some defined beds, I plan on going crazy with daffodils and tulips this fall. Bluestone had some gorgeous "peony" tulips that I hadn't seen before but they're really striking. I might order a few of those as well. I still haven't seen the daylilly catalog. I hope it gets here soon!
