New Flowers and Flags
Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2022 11:48 am
I have to say I am very lucky that Miss T can't sit and enjoy a quiet minute. She came home this spring with a bag from Tractor Supply grinning from Ear to Ear. She said there were some bulbs in the clearance bin. I thought she meant light bulbs. Silly me. 
We have a cabinet full of light bulbs, but if she found more on sale/clearance.... 
Looked like a bag full of walnuts to me, but she got a trowel and headed outside with the "princess" for company. She was planting bulbs, Miss Fiona was searching for Moles and Voles. They both have hobbies.
Looks like they are paying off.....
Here is a pic of the new storm shelter when they put it in.....
Here is a pic that I took this morning... Miss T had worked over the dirt a couple months ago and been spreading grass clipping over it to seed it.
She also planted those "walnuts" around it...
When we bought the house, there were some poor looking plants along the front of the house. The plants in the AD online all around the house looked very nice. Azaleas, and a bunch of other really nice plants. When Tina came out from VA to look at the place, it was nicely landscaped. We put a contract on the house and the previous owners had moved to a brand new home. The wife, after the contract was accepted and we were just waiting for closing... dug up a bunch of the high dollar plants and moved them to her new house. With the rush of moving and getting settled, we never noticed... until months after we got moved in. (Yes, as a matter of fact it IS against the law unless the plants she wants to take are outlined in the sales contract and preapproved by the buyer.) With all the other things we discovered, it was a minor issue in the long run. 
But, Tina put some walnuts in the front of the house too.
The Oklahoma Sun and Wind had killed another set of flags on the flagpole, so Miss T ordered replacements. Even the flagpole has flowers around it. Unfortunately, this means you have to keep a close eye when you are messing with that flagpole, more than once you find HISSY things in those flowers.
I'm VERY tempted to pull all those up and pour a concrete pad around the flagpole with nice colored gravel on the top. It'll look nice and NOT shelter venomous biters.
