Years ago, I planted pink poppy seeds; I dearly love poppies and we had transplanted several from my parents' garden at their old house before they moved. Poppies are difficult to transplant, so we are pleased that some made it. But even though I planted those pink poppy seeds so long ago, we never saw any pink poppies. Until this morning! Aren't they just beautiful? There are only three, but I'll take them. And hopefully, we'll start to see more now every year.
Here's the back flowerbed. Surprisingly there are really few weeds in the bed. A good afternoon of work and we could have it cleaned up fairly well; we also have to clean the birdbath out and level it.
The lion fountain with the roses. This is at the northern corner of the pool. It desperately needs a good weeding.
And finally, here's yet another picture of Rupert. Just because I love Rupert. I want to get some concrete cleaner and give him a good cleaning, but I'm kind of afraid of what the cleaner will do his features.
Thanks for looking!

We have more weeds than I can shake a stick at and no matter what I do they come back just to spite me. 
The first load of mulch has arrived and I haven't even touched it yet. I need to weed, edge and mulch the whole yard.
