SPRINGSUMMER2007

I made a few changes to the landscaping around the front pond and last fall I had planted tulip bulbs and was very happy with the results this spring.

Also did the back yard pond over, making it much bigger, with a really nice waterfall and bridge.

I have to give BIG THANKS to my son, Chris, for all his help this spring and summer and fall. He moved back home and did all the major work, including digging the new backyard pond, mowing, leaf blowing, weeding , etc.

My gardens wouldn't have looked so good without his help while I was still recovering from the auto accident. He is a great chef too!
