He’s Back, Home Depot, 80 Degrees

I am not an oak.

He’s back and behaving.  Okay so I am not an oak, but I am perhaps a strong weed.  He has agreed to counseling. 

It is beautiful in Atlanta and will climb to 80 degrees today.  I am running, not walking to the $100 store (home depot for those that aren’t from this world) and will be standing in line with all the other “dreamers of beautiful yards”. I am even going to try some tomato plants.  Now this is a huge thing for someone that has not walked out in the backyard since last fall.  I really think it would be nice to have one area designated for cutting flowers and then one for a row or two of veggies.  I have such a huge yard - all I need is a green thumb…or perhaps a yellowish blue.

Here’s my backyard now:

 

 

Here’s what I want it to look like:

 

Okay okay, my backyard does not look like a desert, but it will look like a beautiful place to hang when I am done.  Note to self: get the batteries out of my toy, charge them and take an actual picture of the backyard.
