The lower lawn...the saga continues

It rained here in Paradise off and on most of yesterday or I would have had these up much earlier. But, today the sun is out and the surf is up and the day is a lovely one!

The second picture is the old set of furniture we had on the paved patio part of the lower lawn. We bought this set when we first moved to Florida in 01 and it is just now starting to rot out on the legs of the table. We'll keep it here in this undeveloped place in the lower lawn until one of the legs finally falls off. We are working hard to create spots of interest all over the area with a winding path down through the gate, over to the patio and the rose garden.

We picked up the geraniums the other day for the new flower bed on the lower side of the arbor, gate and fence. Chris was tons of help to E getting the gate leveled and the pavers in place.

While I was gone, E bought me 4 new rose bushes and we now are back to having a cut bud in a vase next to our bed every day...these smell so wonderful. We plan on about 5 more total plus the two from under our window to be replanted.

And here is the new lawn furniture...such a bargain from Big Lots...nice stuff too! and comfy! We won't replace the fire pit until late next fall.

Finally, meet Jerome the Gnome. E gave me a colorful garden gnome for Christmas last year and, as we were checking out at Home Depot, low and behold, he bought our other gnome a garden pal.

Off to plant some more flowers, spread some more mulch and see where this adventure takes us.
