Spring in SD

dscf0013After a winter that included 3 blizzards in 2 weeks and record snowfall it’s nice to have to cut the grass again. When we first moved into our house there was no landscaping. The flowerbeds looked like no one had done anything to them for a few years and the yard was full of weeds. Seeing as flowers are cheap we decided to hook things up last year. The “flowerbeds” were just red rocks with lots of grass and weeds growing up and red brick dividers that were laying on the ground. My wife started picking up the red rocks while I was deployed but was over whelmed and gave up until I got home to help. We pretty much ripped it all up and reburied the red brick divider straight. I really wish I would have taken a picture to give you a good before and after shot. So then we planted three flowers to finish it up. Now this year we added 2 more plants and our nice neighbors hooked us up with some mulch. Today while at walmart shopping for a tomato plant we spotted some of those solar powered garden lights. Usually I think these are cheap but these appear to be nice and if they aren’t rest assured Walmart will get them back.
