Thank you COVID for giving us all sorts of time for projects .... no but really - THANK YOU! We have these awful things in our yard called GoatHeads! They are THE WORST! I've never seen so many until we moved to Utah. Well ..... Ryan stepped on one last summer and his foot got infected! So needless to say he is a little paranoid about them now. A few weeks ago he stepped on ANOTHER ONE! He decided he couldn't take it any longer - we were going to finish our flowerbeds and pray that stopped those awful things from haunting us (I secretly doubt it but hey, we get to plant so I'm all game to at least try!).
So the next day we headed to the nursery and my heart couldn't be happier (I LOVE that place)! After hours (and I mean hours) we drove away with dirt, plants and some TREES!!! Picking out plants and trees are my favorite - digging the holes not so much. Did I mention we live on a mountain? Did you know mountains are FULL of rocks (and not just one rock but rocks after rocks after rocks and then when you think there aren't anymore rocks, you run into a boulder!). It's the worst - so that's when I hand the project over to Ryan and beg him to dig the holes - 34 holes you guys! 34 HOLES! Thankfully we live next to family and thankfully they helped.
We have about a million flowerbeds so we didn't get to all of them but the ones we did get to are winning my heart over. Now to wait for our baby plants to grow!
