Blueberries, Lawn, Biltmore Pics

Last week the side yard was transformed into an actual lawn, grass seed, straw, the whole bit. Grass is already germinating. We are excited.
How do you like our lovely "volunteer" tomato plants? They were a direct result of mixing our compost soil into the flower bed by the back door. It is difficult to see the many blooms the plants have. There are small green tomatoes already and they look to be healthy. Can't wait to see how big they get and if they taste good. We also have a really nice tomato plant growing in the barrel on the North deck(also a volunteer). We transplanted several more from the strawberry bed that is right beside the barrel along with some volunteer cucumber plants.

Last Friday we went up on the Parkway to go blueberry picking. We did find blueberries, along with a gazillion other folks... See Wayne picking from behind the mountain laurel bushes? He did manage to pick a "bunch." Not exactly enough for a pie but enough for a few bowls of cereal.

Finally, Wayne created the frames for some lovely pictures we were given and they are now hung in the master bath. Don't they look great? We think so. Next on our agenda is to get the waterproofing done around the tub so we can take relaxing baths in our spa. We even bought some lavender crystals to create a wonderful calming bath. I am so looking forward to this.
