Spring has Sprung!

      It is officially April and with that comes the unpredibility of Oklahoma's Tornado Season and the beginnings of spring...

      I've come to expect late frosts when the day prior has hit temps of 75-80 degrees, fast forming storms with high winds (hanging baskets beware!) and a sunny downpour at any moment...let the outdoor projects begin!

Project 1: Neighbor Screening. 

     Don't let the name fool you I don't actually screen the neighbors, but I'm not saying I wouldn't...I'm a naturally quiet and reserved person who likes my neighbors to be the same- I don't need or want to be apart of your loud house parties, raucous conversation, hear your squeaky swing and most importantly as any good neighbor knows- keep your eyes to yourself! Just because your house is on a slight hill doesn't mean you should stare into my back yard, it's rude and more than a little creepy. 

      So the more practice solution, plant some lovely and more importantly tall and fast growing shrubs and extend the flower bed along the fence.

These little guys don't look like much yet but these brilliant Gibraltar Azaleas are expected to grow to an average height of 8 feet and have clusters of brilliantly orange flowers. I'm so excited!
