Before...
Okay, this isn't really the "before" photo because only a few weeks ago there were unruly barberry bushes and weeds in this lovely, mulched bed. I ripped them out because I hate them. Barberry is ubiquitous around here, and I guess their reddish foliage is kind of pretty, but they are a thorny nightmare in my opinion. I always had to have Pete pull a bunch of splinters out of my hands after I trimmed them -- even when I wore gloves.
After...
And now we have some lovely roses, some new daylilies and some old daylilies that needed a new home. We have a local nursery that specializes in daylilies and has probably about 30 or so varieties, so we picked up some with unusual coloring.
In other news, our mama robin has had her babies. She's up there feeding them in this photo. We (or maybe just I) have been so worried about her with the wild storm we had about a week ago and the crazy heat wave last week. I heard the babies starting to squawk a little bit today though, so all appears to be well!
