I'm bushed (after today)

Finally had a chance to catch up on a few things around the house.  My neighbor friend who gives me milkweed pods gave me some extra flowers (salvia, impatiens, etc).  They have been sitting on my porch since probably mid-April.  And then Cindy's dear friend Cindy Francis bought a Korean dwarf lilac bush in honor of Ruth.  I named the bush Barbara.

So today with it hitting over 90 degrees again, I mowed, potted flowers and planted a bush.

Here are some of the flowers...

 

And here is the bush pre-planting...



 

I'm posting this partially for me to remember what I used...

I had a few extra salvia I stuck in the ground

 

 

 

For the bush, it needs some sun.  It can get five feet high and five feet wide so had to give it room.

This is where we decided to plant it...

 

 

 

Prep and planted...

 

 

Project done...

 

Love you Ruthie

Ruth loved the pictures I posted on my blog.

Here's a couple from the past I know she would like...
