Planting

This weekend the kids and I were busy. We decided to do some landscape work.  We planted an new apricot tree in the backyard. Now we have an apple, nectarine, and apricot.  I'd like to add at least one more fruit tree soon.

 
After that, we moved into the front yard.  A few weekends back the kids took out 3 lavender bushes.  They were getting way too big, and out of control.  Yesterday, we finished the clean up of those bushes.  Next, we moved all of our big rocks onto the walkway.  We decided on a new design for the big rocks, and laid them all out again.  After that, we turned the soil, added new soil, then added wildflower seeds that are suppose to attract butterflies, and hummingbirds. In the end we all agree it looks so much better.  We cant wait for all the flowers to start growing.
