A (Yet to Be Determined Color) Thumb

I needed a new project, and the weather has been wonderful lately... so I decided to give gardening a try. This area was previously populated by two bushes (one of which was dead) and a ground covering combination of half dirt and half grown over grass. So I decided to spruce it up a bit. I dug out a nice curved flower bed area with a garden shovel we found in the woods near our house (creepy). My foot was sore all week from stomping on the sharp edges of the shovel, which I was told was the wrong type of shovel for the job. I do'nt know what I expected from a free shovel. 

First, I transplanted the one live bush to the other side of bed (which fingers crossed will bounce back), then I planted two green bushed with red tips, two Asiatic lilies, and a bunch of those little bright colored cone shaped flowers in between. It is very colorful, coordinates well with the cowboy boot planter outside the front door. The last thing I did was fill it in with some Cyprus mulch.

Here is the masterpiece.....intricately created by the Master Craftsman and arranged by me.

 

I never imagined I would be one to "garden," but I have to say I enjoyed being 'hands on' with the creations of my Creator.
