Well, not blues actually. But yesterday was the first time I cut the grass on a plot of land we bot for ouselfes. It was a good experience; I need the excercise, the yard needed clipping badly, and it's been a blessed respite from the heat wave we here in Portland Oregon were experiencing.
The prior owners certainly loved thier roses. There are several of them in the flower beds surrounding the back yard, some very beautiful, some just decorative and not very moving. Most of them are going. A couple that we actually like are staying, but we have friends who are way too into gardening and they will like them.
There are also calla lillies, rhododendron, daphnea (the prior owners called it old growth, and indeed it's the biggest daphnea The Wife[tm] has ever seen.
She's talking about major revisions to the yard, such as getting rid of some evergreen shrubs out front. I'm down with that. Though I usually ador evergreens, these are just in the way.
