Landscaping Progress

This post is from from my other blog here

We worked in the yard this past weekend and got some landscaping done and set some more fence posts in concrete.  I put up wire lattice on each of the three sections between the garage doors.

Honeysuckel Planted honeysuckle here.  It's a pink and yellow variety.  Should be pretty and have a nice fragrance. 

Climbing_rose In the middle I put a climbing rose that I bought at the farmers market.  It smells just wonderful, exactly like what you would expect a rose to smell like.

Vine Last year I got Clematis planted on the far left and it has grown nicely.

We also started work on our entry arbor.  We set pressure treated posts in concrete and sized them so a sheet of lattice will fit, I have to do some cutting but it will arch over the top and the Golden Chain trees will be trained over the arch.

Arbor This will be the first of three arbors like that along the path to the house.  I will plant different climbing, flowering vines on each one.

Nothing happened today as it was raining cats and dogs all day so we hiked the Narbeck wetlands area and I got some great photos.

Froggy I cannot believe how many frogs are in the ponds around there.

Baby_duck I got a picture of these baby mallards, they were about 4 or 5 days old.

We also saw Hooded Merganser babies but they were too fast for the camera.

On the way home I stopped traffic to let two Canada goose families cross a busy street.

They all scooted under the fence to a pond.
