Some Yard Work Going On . . .

Yes, we decided to do some landscaping around the house. I've wanted a flowering tree in the front yard for years and the other day we actually went to the local nursery and bought a Royalty Crab Apple tree. Bruce dug the hole while I supervised. It was a complicated process - the hole had to be a certain width and depth - then filled with bone meal and top soil. Right now, it's tall and skinny, but I'm hoping it grows tall and wide.


One day when we were in Canadian Tire, Bruce saw a pile of the latest edging that the store is selling. He then envisioned his next project - a planter with tall planter grass growing in it. What's the name of that grass? I don't know. But here is the finished project - I think he did a fantastic job.


Last but not least, today was sunflower seed planting. Again more digging, this time filling the holes with cattle manure! Seeds are just under the surface - they should sprout in a few days.






And here is Smoky rolling around in the dirt. What's with these animals? He then wants in the house looking like a homeless cat with dust and dried grass falling off his body.
