An evening in the garden

With Benny golfing tonight, I had a prime opportunity to finish up some things around the yard and my two gardens. Thankfully, it turned out to an excellent evening of accomplishment, weather, a surprisingly well-behaved dog, and few little delights that made my day...



I have finally finished putting up the chicken wire fence and planting the garden, with putting the corn in. I hope it is a sucess! Except I wish I would've had more space for some other things :)


After last years disaster of the weed-drowned beans, I'm very thrilled the beans and peas have popped up quite nicely. It's amazing what a little sunshine will do!


I also was able to work in my rock garden as well, which meant toning down that HUGE hosta in front. Apparently, it really wanted to be transplanted last year.
We found a bird bath this last weekend for $15. It's chipped on the bottom and not what I dreamed of having, but after Benny set it up, I see that it fits perfectly. And much to my delight, I witnessed Mr. Robin taking a bath in it this evening.


The other surprise in the rock garden was that I found Mr. Toady hanging out under the hosta. I met him a week and a half ago and I'm glad he's sticking around and making himself at home.

And lastly, what's more fun than watching your honey-bunny, poochie-pooch having a great time on her new spring pole :) And, it wore her right out and I didn't even have to entertain!
