Adding some color

Friday, August 15, 2014

Our van was having some problems shifting gears so I finally took it in to the dealership to have it looked at and they decided that the transmission needed to be replaced.  Thankfully it was still under warranty from when we bought it back in 2011 and we were even given a loaner car for free - a 2014 Toyota Tacoma - which was a lot of fun to drive around!  I decided to take the truck to the nursery to buy some flowers and things to plant in the yard to add a little color to it.  I bought a few mums for some fall color and also a hibiscus plant which has enormous pink flowers on it!  Since Luke wasn't in school yet, he helped me with a lot of the planting.  (M&M was at marching band camp.)

Planting some mums in front of the front porch - there is a nice little Japanese Maple tree that was already there.
Adding some color to our little garden island in the front corner of the yard.
Awesome hibiscus bush - hopefully it will look this nice next year!
The flowers are HUGE - that one is probably almost as big as my hand.
