Outside

Here are some pictures of my summer project. My front yard. Here's a couple views from the sidewalk in front of my house.

Now some of my plants, up close and beautiful. (At least they are to me.)
My oak tree. It is small, but I love it.
A beautiful little purple daisy. (I'm not really sure what it's real name is, but I think that it's beautiful.)
A salvia. Which I thought I fried the first week they were in but now they are alive and well.
This is a cool plant called digitalis which I think has a cool looking flower.
Here is one of my flower beds.
Another one. You can see my humming bird feeders next to which are my 3 tomato plants. (P.S. I don't think that I'll be able to eat all of the tomatoes that they are producing. They are loaded with blooms and little growing tomatoes.)
Looking to the right from the front porch.
Looking at the street from the front porch.
It may not look like much to you, however it feels like hundreds of hours of time and tons of sweat and quite a bit of money went into this project.

It looks like quite a bit to me! Your flowers are beautiful and your yard looks great. I'm very impressed. :) Thanks for the updates. It's really fun to see your progress.

Are you ready for school to start? We don't start in MN until Sept. 8th, which is weird. I still have almost 3 weeks until my kindergartener is off to school! Hope you have a fantastic first day. Best wishes!
