Gray Garden

The garden tea that was rained out last week really spurred me on to spruce up my back yard.

Two weeks earlier, we rolled out new sod.

The plan was to have 12 artists on the lawn displaying their paintings.

Let's just say, Dexter had done a number on the grass, so I decided to replace it.

I also bought ten white azaleas, four Spanish lavenders and six white mums for color.

They replaced the dead and ratty lavender and geraniums that had been there way too long.

The hummingbirds love the new French lavender I planted in the front window boxes.

Even though my guests didn't get to hang out in my backyard, I ended up with a fresh, new space to enjoy anyway. Even on a gray day!

As you can see, Butter Kitty loves the new plants.
