More Spring Pix

This is the giant hole that Rex has dug underneath the tree in the front yard. The scrawny little plants next to it are tiger lilies that the dogs have trampled almost to death. I don't know if I'll be saving those--I may just give up on them. It's not as if we don't have a zillion more tiger lilies around.

This used to be an ugly little scrubby bush, which Adam dug up a couple of weeks ago. These are Sweet Black Eyed Susans.

These are Smooth Blue Asters, which will hopefully be lovely and attract butterflies.
This is the south side of the house. I dug up the rose bushes (that you can barely see here) last night. So now there are Meadow Blazing Stars planted underneath the furnace exhaust pipes, instead of ugly dying rose bushes.
This is a not-so-great picture of my super great new fences on the east side of the hosue. Next to the stairs, I planted Elegant Camas (also known as Mountain Death Camas, since the roots are poisonous). Around the corner, I have tiger lilies, some of which started there and some of which I moved there over the past month. I was going to continue the fence around the south side of the house, but the dogs have been leaving the new plantings alone, so I might not put more fences around.

And this is a picture of the kind of things you see on my bus ride.
