Enjoying a full Saturday in the yard -- finally!

It's been far too long since we've had a full day to putter in the yard. But today, we did just that. Ned mowed the grass in the morning, poisoned some weeds, and tied up some peppers before heading to the office in preparation for his DC trip. Mary Beth planted impatiens and mulched the front beds, and added Miracle Grow to everything that was in the ground. Now we're home for the evening bellyaching about our sore muscles.
Our first glad bloomed. These are my favorite flowers ever.
The oleander looked better before yesterday's rain beat it all down. These buds are off the ground thanks to hidden hand support below the camera's frame.
And the zinnia bed -- it's huge and soon to be loaded with flowers. You can see a few peeking through already.
