I get tired every time I pop in to see where you are in your project. I am so looking forward to the day we can see your furniture in there and you relaxing at your sewing machine in your new home.Gari in ALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695711731891676422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349211516125118043.post-30304581125572519132011-08-10T20:54:02.405-07:002011-08-10T20:54:02.405-07:00Our red in the front yard in California has bottle...Our red in the front yard in California has bottlebrush tree.

Anything planted under the overhang of the roof will need watering, so try to put some ground cover or rocks in close to the foundation, and the plants further out. The burning bushes will contrast nicely in height with the spirea. Then dot a few red geraniums here and there between the permanent plantings.<br />I have to say that I am truly amazed at your stamina painting in that heat for so many hours. I have painted a great deal in our house over 26 years and I have never been able to do that!Sillygrammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872731275253142217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349211516125118043.post-24963107359183257552011-08-10T01:52:28.762-07:002011-08-10T01:52:28.762-07:00I agree with the last 2 comments!

That would be good! They don't take much care except to replant each year.... unless you get something that you could just haul into the garage or sunroom.... some place warm so they don't freeze.... then all you would have to do is haul them out again the next year! <br />Almost done!!!! Your getting closer to BASR every weekend!!!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349211516125118043.post-88078195210897236612011-08-09T09:42:35.323-07:002011-08-09T09:42:35.323-07:00WOW, it's Gorgeous!!
