I've temporarily relocated to my in-laws' farm for the time being. I may or may not keep posting. I suppose we will see what happens.

Back!
It has been a while since I have posted. I was gone to my in-laws' for a week then off to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's graduations. But I am home now.
I thought you'd like to see what I came home to. Below is a couple pictures of the jungle in the backyard. I also came home to a couple of beautifully flowering trees. (Pictures also below)
I've been preparing decorations for a baby shower cake this morning and this afternoon I plan on getting some more yard work done. I'll post some pictures of my newest endevors later on!

Sticks and snow may break my bones, but they can also kill my garden!
This week has been a bust. It's been snowing since Monday night, which put a damper on my week's plans. Below are pictures on my snowy yard and the tree branches that have fallen off the neighbour's tree and onto my tulips.
I've been working on some quilts and some accessories for a couple of outfits I've made for some if my cousins' babies. See them below too!

Correction...
So... ignore my last post...
The lawn tulips are in fact lawn tulips, they just look different for some reason.
I do have lilies! My Grandmother-in-law came over today and figured out what is in my lawn. She said that she thought she saw 3 types of lilies, poppies, a current bush and a few other things! I will need to be very careful when mowing because they are in strange places.
I accomplished a few things this morning, I fixed our gate so it opens and closes all the way (making moving the lawn mower into the yard A LOT easier!) and I started a rock path leading from the back yard to the front so that it is a little more level for walking on.
I only have 3 rocks/bricks in place but everything is planned out and prepped so it will not be hard from here.
I also started getting ready for my next project, a landing into our back yard from the steps of our house. The ground is quite uneven right now and I am concerned that someone will trip. There is also an oddly placed bush in the way, so I will be moving that as well!
Photos below are of my progress and my planning.

Pretty shiny rocks I will use

Who are you and what are you doing on my lawn?
I was informed this week that there are tiger lilies that also like to grow in my yard. I have to retract what I informed you of last week. I do not have lawn tulips in my back yard. I believe them to be lawn lilies. Below is a picture of them, I am only assuming that they are the lilies because they don't look like tulips. They could be something else entirely and I simply won't know until they flower.
I have another dilemma in my gardening plan; I do not know whether to kill my sidewalk tulips or attempt to pick up the wood next to my side walk in order to salvage them. I could use some advice. I also have something growing along with my sidewalk tulips that I can not tell if it is grass or a flower yet. I may attempt to save these too.
I have some guest coming in an hour so I am going to run and place some stepping stones before they arrive!
