Blooming Beautiful

I know it's been a few weeks since I've posted but they don't call this time of year the silly season for nothing. Between numerous Christmas parties, end of year functions and a very very busy time workwise, something has had to give.

Around the house not a lot going on. Bought an ENYO floor care system which is pretty awesome to use but not particularly exciting to read about. In the garden, though, lots is happening.

Firstly of all everything is blooming! As mentioned previously my gardenias are flowering, as are my hydrangeas, and the magnolias are heavy with scented blooms. And what isn't blooming is growing! Crab apple and pear are both doing well, and even my lilac is spurting up and looking happy.

Next project is the little garden bed near the rain chain. Am going to thread an irrigation line under the front path to allow that area to be added to our irrigation system. Still not 100% sure what to plant there. That will be a job for over the holidays.

It's been such a crazy busy year, that really just looking forward to a quiet Christmas. Which reminds me - here's this year's Christmas tree. Kids wanted to go wooden ornaments and silver this year.
