  • It's been raining pretty steadily in northern Georgia for the last week.  The new additions to the yard are quite happy as a result.

  • The more Mother Nature waters, the less I have to, which means the less I have to pay the Athens-Clarke County Water Authority.  I see nothing but "win" with this arrangement.

  • The Azaleas are winding down for the season.

  • The dark red Azalea second in line from the street always blooms last, and therefore keeps its flowers longer than the others.

  • The heavy rain has also done a good job of removing the petals.  I'm under the impression that this is the time to prune and shape, which I'll get to soon.

  • One other project has been laying dormant for a while.  I've mentioned the Daffodils by the patio that try and bloom each spring, and how I keep saying I should move them out front.  Today seemed to be a good day to try and dodge the raindrops and the Daffodils and a few straggler Crocus bulbs moved.  The area where the two rose bushes sit seems like the best destination.

  • I started digging up the 5 separate small clusters of Daffodils to find about 30 bulbs total !  I divided everything and planted them on the far right corner in the photo above.  The Crocus bulbs went in the ground next to the other Crocus bulbs I planted last fall.

  • I'll add mulch later to make things look nice.  This is another project where I won't see the results until next spring.  But at least it's another project that's done.
