So the big news this week is that Mom came to visit and along with all her wonderful ideas and joyful presence she brought me a lawnmower!!! This made for a HUGE improvement to both the back and front yard. Hopefully future mowing will not be as much work as it was today. But I simply could not be more pleased with the result. It makes everything look so much cleaner and healthier to have the weeds that were getting to be a couple feet tall all gone and all in all it felt really good to mow down those nasty weeds! Now I just need to hit them with a dose of organic weed killer and hope they never return.
Before-
After- 
In addition to the lawnmowing, I added a few little shared things from Mom's garden including, yarrow, oxalis, and some varigated thing (this what Mom kept calling it, so I don't remember it's name). She also bought me a beautiful stargazer lilly and some lovely petunias to hang by the front door. Everything is growing and I am so happy with my the way my space is turning out.
PS- I also decided that if it hails in the next 2 months (distinct possibility in Texas) I am going to cry.
