Lelly's challenge this week: "what was I thinking!?!
I love to work in my yard, I find it very relaxing. One of the things I most enjoy is planting flowers. They add such beauty to a yard.
But every year when I take on this project I say to myself, "what was I thinking!?! I painstakingly follow the brick curbing all around the flower beds throughout the entire front yard...it's really a job!
And...
Just think, only this much more to go and about 3 more of those flats of flowers and I'll be done!

I know I've said it before, but I'm seriously jealous of how your yard looks! i need to get you and your husband to come visit us and have you guys work your magic on our yard!
You are so darn cute Linda. I love your yard. It is gorgeous. Your flowers are so pretty. You go girl. It will be worth it. Just keep moving. I can't wait to see the final. Love it all.
You were thinking beauty girl. That's what you were thinking. ;)
Linda, thanks for stopping by. I love the look of flowers and your yard looks beautiful. The grass is so green. I don't have patience for the annuals, I have to do "hardy" perennials. So good for you, annuals have far more color. :-)
Your yard is truly beautiful. You really have a gift. It must be nice to come home and see such a beautiful front yard every day. What a lot of work.
Your yard is so Beautiful! I am so jealous of all the land & green grass. We have dead grass & crab grass..
I love your flowers. Good luck planting.

Your yard is beautiful. I love the fact that you can do something so great in such a sweet amount of time.
Working in the Connecticut slate is what drove so many people to move... to California.
Beautiful! You have a great talent.
Your yard is beautiful, I agree..... And you're right again... that is SOME job!
Your yard is gorgeous so the hard work is paying off! Talk about curb appeal! I love the flowers...as for your back, it must be killing you! You Go! mine is private, but I will share if you drop me an email..courtneymilius@hotmail.com
Your yard it incredible. It may be alot of work, but so worth it.
Beautiful. I'm sure it's worth it.
I just do a few planters. This year I have to figure out how to keep a pesky squirrel from eating my petunias. Any ideas?
Brenda :)
It will be gorgeous when it's finished! Keep plugging, er planting, away. I do not have a green thumb, but I do appreciate it in others.
i am so helpless in the yard - and you make it look so easy!!
Your yard is just beautiful, Linda - your grass looks like a golf course, so green and manicured...great job! Everything is just starting to turn green here in MI. Buds are poking through the dirt so that's exciting to see. I'm ready for warm temps and planting flowers!
Thanks so much for the nice comment you left on my blog...you're sweet!
What I'm thinking is that your yard is GORGEOUS! I could use your help at my house. No green thumbs here. Thanks for your comment on my blog. It's fun to meet new friends.
Thanks for visiting my blog and the sweet comment about the blog design I did for Michelle. Shes one of my best friends, a very sweet lady and I love making blog changes and I think it turned out really cute too :)
I like your blog too! I love your house and lawn.
Im from and live in Edmonton, Alberta Canada and all our snow has melted but nothing is green yet.
Please feel free to visit my blog again, Id love to hear from you!
I will come back soon too. Im adding your blog to bloglines so I can read it everyday.
Hugs to you,
Candy :)
What a beautiful yard, Linda! Your grass looks like carpet!!
Thank you for my goodmail today - what a treat and I love all the pink. You are so thoughtful.
I wish I had the same problem! We're still waiting for it to stop snowing before we plant anything because we don't want it to die once we plant it. Your yard looks great!
Linda-Question here. What does SPT mean? I have never seen that before. Is it related to the what was I thinking? Curious. Because I have seen it before.
Jan - the SPT stands for Self Portrait Tuesday or some say She Photographs Tuesday(s). This was started by Lelly. She gives us an assignment on Friday and we post on Tuesday (or Wed, or Thurs if we're late!) We sign Mr. Linky so that everyone who participates can see them too. Lelly's name is on my sidebar...click over to her blog and take a peek. I've only done about 5 or 6 since I'm so new to blogging but I've had alot of fun and met some nice people.
I feel like "what was I thinking?" almost every time I do yard work because the it always ends up being way more than I bargained for.
