Spring 2013 Landscaping

Josh and I recently did a little landscaping - meaning, I bought plants and Josh put them in the ground. I don't really understand how people enjoy gardening ... digging in the dirt ... I hate bugs, worms, and getting dirty. Anywho, we do not own a truck so Trudy the Tribute (Gertrude, Trudy for short) had to fill in:
We were packed in!
1 Tree, 2 Ferns, 2 bags of mulch, 4 Lilies, and 1 Clematis
The tree was taller than Josh in the pot and barely fit in the car.
Doesn't look like so much when you get it all out ...

The tree was the hardest part because it was so tall. We were able to fit it in and close the door without breaking any limbs!
After: everything has found it's home :)
Even added a nice birdbath to the mix the next day.
It's taken some time, but the landscape of the yard is looking much better - especially considering when we moved in almost 2 years ago it was a sandy, dirt patch with nothing but weeds and sod meshing where previous owners did not care for the lawn. It's coming together though!

What have I been "running" for lately ... I had the most delish flavor at Sweet Frog recently. It was labeled Cotton Candy and though I usually stick to chocolates, caramels, and peanut butters, I couldn't resist that beautiful blue glow. To my surprise, it taste just like cake icing! I don't know if it was mislabeled or just that good. I could have had a whole bowl of it with no toppings. I've gone back a few times since and the flavor has not been back. If you get a chance to try it, I recommend you do.
