I just wanted to share with you ladies the things I have been doing that have kept me busy over the last 2 weeks. Mind you, this was done day by day, but I didn't take pictures during the progress. So, without further adieu, here is my new back yard.

Side view of flower bed


My comfy chairs and Landen's pool


My new table with umbrella and chairs


Close up of tiles on my table


View of the back of my house


My super awesome under $200 grill




My newest lillies


My celosia plants that I call the "Hey look at me flowers"


My cockscomb plants that are mini "Hey look at me flowers"


My cinnamon bear flowers


Can't remember the names of these


My centerpiece of caladium


My 3 year old lily


Can't remember the name of this one either but thought it was cool and it will grow 4-6 feet tall.

I got the grill at Big Lots for $189 before tax. It is last years version. There is a similar one at the WalMart for $149 that I saw the other day. Might want to check your local stores out and see if you can get a grill like I did. BTW, with Father's Day a couple of weeks away, alot of stuff is on sale.

Father's Day is a week from this coming Sunday.

Janet, I didn't do that much bending over. Mike was digging the holes for me and all I had to do was rearrange the way they were going to be set.
