Cleared some of the gravel from the front right bed, whose edging needs to be replaced. In the process of potting up some pansies and violas for pots, dug the first drainage channel that needs to go UNDER the gravel next to the house.

Potted up violas and pansies in pots atop sap buckets and in another larger planting IN sap buckets. Very cheery!

The full buckets are sitting on the brick edging next to the walk and edging the beds with the daffodils, jonquils, and daylilies in it in front. The daffs/jonquils are blooming their heads off, it looks very pleasant. The daylilies are just leaves now, but bigger and behind the daffs. Looks great against the brown of the house. The the brick edging on the right side of the path hasn’t been evened up (a mouse made a tunnel there so it’s low) and that looks a bit odd. But overall, it makes me smile when I see it, so I guess it would make others smile too!

Started clearing the side daylily bed, the violet “hill”, and the perrenial garden last week. Also hauled more junk wood off to the dump, which has made a huge improvement on the side yard.

There’s a “reserved” sign next door. With any luck about the time they move in, we’ll get the house on the market. Although, when it comes down to it, I don’t think DH will go for that. But that’s a worry for another day. I’m moving in that direction, even if he is dragging his feet, still/again.
