Flowers

Andrew and I are not known to have the best plant/flower skills. We have usually kept only one or two indoor plants around, and they have always been the type the person at the store swore we couldn't kill (and even then sometimes we managed to). Now that we have a house, we've planted a bunch of flowers outside and have been really good at the whole watering, fertilizing, etc. thing. We're so proud! And look how great they are doing!

Our roses and flower boxes just after being planted.

And now!

We just can't believe how much our roses are thriving. Even after the crazy heatwave we had in July. Of course it helps to have our little resident gardener on the case!

Sometimes his watering is more like powerwashing but it seems to be working.

Other patio pictures. We have loved hanging out here this summer.
