Sunny 9 for 2005 September 17

Aaron and I were woken up by a very sad clingy baby this morning. I don't know why b/c both her teeth she is growing in have broken through her gums. And if any of you know Lily, she doesn't cry for no reason, especially after she has had a good sleep.

So we headed to Garden Center to buy some more landscaping b/c she was getting to clingy inside. We got 2 Japanese Yew, 3 wax myrtle (b/c they smell so good), some canna lilies, and a Magnolia tree. I love Magnolias. So we had lots of planting to do, especially since where we put the plants was where there was grass. So we had to tear up the grass and we were able to save it for the backyard sodding that is slowly growing bigger with all the projects we are doing in the front yard. (Our builders didn't sod the backyard, only the front yard.) Then we actually planted all the plants at one time. We also planted the lantana that was intended for ground cover under the Bradford Pear tree we got that is being delivered Monday along with our Magnolia tree and Crepe Myrtle tree, but we bought the lantana awhile ago and they were looking pretty sick, so I thought we'd better get them in ground.

It looks pretty good now and I think I am done with the front yard after Monday when they plant the Bradford Pear. (We have to plant the Crepe Myrtle and Magnolia Tree ourselves. Too spensive.) So now on to the backyard. I don't even know what to do with it. We kinda ran out of money too. Maybe we will wait for the spring on that one. Besides, Lily is too young right now to play outside. She doesn't even wear shoes for heaven's sake. I will post a picture of it when we get the trees all planted.
