Kid whose name I can't remember knocks the bar off at 38". I think the shadow in the foreground is the lens hood, since it goes away when I remove the hood later...

Marigold, I think

Testing a new way of posting photos now that I got a new camera. This is one of my 'scratch-N-dent' flowers in front of the house.

Getting a good deal on some landscape blocks from a friend that removed them from his yard, so I am building a raised planting bed in my circular driveway. I decided to change the design after seeing Vincent's neighbors yard - He did a multi-level thing that looks good, so I'm copying that a bit. Got pictures of the blocks just setting in place ** Here **. I'll level it all and probably make it 4 blocks high when I get back - going out for a few days this week.

I got tired of looking at the weeds growing up in one area of the yard, and needed to add sprinklers anyway, so on the advice of a friend, I ripped out one section and put red lava rocks this weekend. I also put sprinklers in for the entire front yard. Huge pain in the ass. Got some pictures **Here**
