Great job on the yard. The flowers & greenery look really
beautiful. I kinda like the turtle bench,but my boney butt needs
something softer to sit on. If you don't like the color of the
turtle, maybe it could be painted.

It's really nice when all your plans come together on a project
like this. Good job.

Your yard looks great, and I have to admit, I love the bench, although I probably wouldn't have considered spending that much on it. But if your mom loves it, good for her!!!

The bench would be a lot nicer with color to it. My dad was saying something about flying amy down to paint it.
I don't think i'd have enough patience to sit out in the hot sun to paint that huge thing, plus it's not too easy to move to somewhere cool.


Today my dad and I made a little border around the flower bed where the bench is, with the extra pavers from our path/pool patio. We have a bunch more and we're going to find something else to do with them.

Hopefully our next step is to extend our yard, the only issues with that are trying to see how we'd have more privacy. If we extend our yard into the side yard, our side yard has a slope to it going down. That means the fence would be lower and people could see over. We'd like to keep our backyard somewhat private. We either have to find some way to make the fence higher, or find a way to block view.

Luckily there's only one neighbor on that side of us and the road is a little side road, so it's not used much, so if a solution isn't found it shouldn't be too bad of a problem.

That's the only reason we got it.

My sister says she loves the turtle bench (she's a big turtle fan, too).

Nice looking yard, Kay. I love the flowers!

Beautiful!!! I 'love' the blue flowers you chose out. Very pretty. We've been working on our yard lately too, and planting a bunch of different flowers. I hope to find those blue flowers next time we go to the nursery to get more plants. Really...they are lovely.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Kay, do you think you could get a shot of your 'whole' yard? I would love to see the whole thing in one shot, if that's possible. Looks like you've done a great job on it!

So glad you indulged her!!! My family does the same thing for me when they can and I truly appreciate it!!! Your mom looks very happy on her bench!!!

Beautiful photos and flowers, Kay.
