was a long day at work and I had to stop and pick up some groceries for a meeting tomorrow, so by the time I drove up to the house I was feeling tired and a bit sorry for myself…

as I turned into the driveway the flower beds jumped out at me…

I realized that my son-in-law had been over and dug out most of the grass that was filling the bed…

this showed what it looked like when we put the planters into it, and that was weeks ago…

I’ve been able to see the grass moving from the living room while sitting down, lol…

apparently my irises have been blooming and I didn’t even know it…

besides the two flower beds he also mowed the grass in the front yard and the back garden…

perked me right up…

now I have to decide whether to just put down newspaper over the bed and around the plants in it or dig up the five or six plants I want to keep and put them into pots on top of the newspaper which will kill the grass under it…

hmmmmm…
