Update w/ Lots of pix

Haven't posted in a few days so here is a general update. Brandon and I have been working hard in our garden all weekend. I am obsessed with fruit and loved having fruit trees when I was a kid, so we went to the nursery yesterday and got some! Our little jeep was loaded with goodies!

We already have beautiful orange & grapefruit trees:

which came with the house as well as a peach tree (which we haven't gotten any ripe fruit from yet). So in addition to those we bout a Santa Rosa plum tree

(the ones with the red centers - yum!), apricot and lime.

And just a few flowers to put in between them for color:

We're still planning to put some more flowers and then some of those rubber wood chips down to keep the weeds out. Its not a drastic change, but definitely an improvement in our blank-slate of a yard:

I can't wait to get grass in there!

I also decided to start some herbs & vegetable plants from seeds:

(Oregano, Cilatro, Basil, Tomato, Zucchini & Peppers) Hope they take off!

Here is a look at the front yard which we worked on last weekend.

The hydrangea's are blooming!

Some pretty petunias =-D

Amidst all the gardening I finished my star blankie!

Gave it to Jamie at her shower yesterday and she seemed to love it!

I realized I only have less than two weeks to complete another baby blanket for a shower in July! Where has the time gone?!? I started it the other night and it already looks awesome! I'll share some pictures as soon as there is more progress.

Hope you all are having a wonderful & relaxing Sunday. Happy Father's day to all the dad's out there! Mine is in Montreal visiting family this week which is why we celebrated last weekend.

Until next time, Ciao!
