A couple Saturday's ago Michael had a side job to do...when he got home we talked about using a little bit of the money and sprucing up one of the garden beds. We've decided to focus on one garden bed each summer in order to cut down on the cost.
Michael loves hostas so we got 3 of those and 2 lilies and 2 willow plants. We also got 2 tomato plants and it cost less than $50. I do want to spend just a little bit more and get some mulch to cover this garden bed and one that's up by our driveway. That one has a bunch of bulbs in it so it looks nice, but it always gets tons of weeds. The garden bed in the above pictures was just overrun with weeds too so I'm really hoping the mulch will really help. We also want to get one more little plant to put up closer to the end of the stairway. 
The other night Michael got out his hedge trimmer and really trimmed back two of our trees/bushes in the backyard. This one by the play area is such a nice tree, but it was out of control. The below picture shows what it was last summer and it had grown even more since then. It looks so nice now!
We also have a camellia that we didn't want to cut out since it provides us with a bit of privacy in the backyard. We didn't want to complete trim it back last summer since we brought in so much dirt we want to first see if it would survive and now that it has we decided to hack it back.
Out of control!
So nice and shapely! 
When Michael was picking up the trimmings he came across this one branch with this perfect looking flower. It totally reminds me of the rose from Beauty & The Beast!
Side Note: If this is posting I guess the world didn't come to an end afterall...interesting!
