I was able to grab some okay size planter pot from 99 Cent Store but haven't decide if I will do anything with it because I'm not into gardening even though I want to do it to brighten up my front yard.  My backyard there is no room for doing anything since we decide to just do concrete work so the kids can played.

We planted 2 pots of flowers and that's about it for now (one was for my daughter's beta's funeral).  We were going to do some planting but because of the rain the last couple of days we're holding back until maybe next week or so.

menards had this great fruit tree sale this past weekend so we bought a bunch of apple trees and blueberry bushes.  Gotta call diggers hotline before we put them in.  Trees were only about $20 each!!

I have a plum tree in my front yard that this year look much better than last year because more plums and the trees bloom much bigger.  I have picture but haven't upload it.  I'm getting another nest that swallow bird are making home to have their baby too.  I love how amazing they are when they build the nest with just carrying branches, mud and water with their beak/mouth.  I was able to block the pigeon from nesting on my house this time.

That is such a great deal, peas!  My husband would go nuts for $20 a tree.

SB, it's strange how we care for the little cute birds and detest those pesky pigeons.  I have a birdhouse I want to put on the maple but I'm afraid the pigeons will get to the food before the birds.

So I got my pots done yesterday after the storm.
I just chose the cheap flowers because they seemed to last or bloom all summer long.

This one blooms really early in the year.  AS long as the temp is warm, it blooms.  It's beautiful but doesn't last long.

I love tublips.  They are pretty.  Couldn't decide which color to get, so I got white.

Mini roses that we purchased over the weekend.  They seem to last and can withstand the harsh weather, so I decided to buy these two.
