planted

This weekend, we got the entire back terraced slope planted, and mulched! It looks great, and we even put up a little rock border at the top, to keep the mulch in. I can't wait to see some of the plants grow and thrive.

I bought a 2' tall lilac bush. I love the lilac bushes we had in our yard when I was a kid, and I wanted to plant one of my own. I'm sure it will take awhile to become a decent size, but until then I can have good memories of mom cutting the blooms and bringing them into the kitchenette and putting them on the table. I would sit there and do my homework and just be flooded with that wonderful smell. It is addictive.
