A nice surprise
« on: May 25, 2008, 02:09:41 PM »
I've been up to my eyeballs with building our new house, and the weather has been wet and cool so the hardies really haven't started, but I was surprised today when I came back from Virginia!!!

I like the siberean iris with the Spirea, glare was bad even with CPL filter.  Also found my back deck is overtaken!

Beautiful!  But, somebody left a window open at the "project" house!  You'd better go back and close it!  lol

I am assuming that your temps have been mainly below average in PA also?

Gary your house is coming along.. that's going to be your vacation property correct?

Your house is beautiful, both of them.  The flowers sure look happy too, and what a view.  8-)~

Tammie:  You are astute, but I'm not driving another 8 hours (round trip)!

Bonnie You are right we have maintained a cool spring with a lot of rain.  It has heated up and I noticed some fungus in the lawn  from the higher temps.  Hopefully the lawn will dry out with the red thread and brown spot!!!!  Yes initially it will be a vacation house, but I plan to retire in 49 months and we will be there year round after that.  I mentioned to DW that she needed a lufa (sp?).

Gary, You house is coming along great! I love how it's positioned on the property, that will be so nice when it's done. Your current house looks nice, too. Our deck is somewhat overtaken as well, but I don't feel like climbing and breaking my neck to thin it all. Not for me.  {nono} I'm just going to let it grow and devour my deck.  ;)

Wow, Clyde Ilkins. What a beautiful testament.

Thanks all.  I can't wait to get my CCD cameras up and running so I can see shots like this.
