The rest of the weekend I spent on tamer pursuits, like replanting my flower beds. The pansies I'd planted in the fall were gorgeous all through the winter but the heat was beginning to really get to them, so I tore them out and replaced them with more heat tolerant stuff. I also decided to build a stone retaining wall around the side bed. It's on a slight incline so it kinda needed something on the downhill side. My husband and I hauled a couple of jeep loads of big sandstone rocks out of the hollow behind his parent's house and my back is killing me today. You think I'd know better than that by now. That biggest rock in the center there probably weighs 200#. It's probably 16" high. Here's a picture of the finished product...
You can see the fern you sent me in the lower right hand corner of this picture...
Here's a better picture of it. It's looking pretty good...
