Around the house - Outdoor edition

Good Morning!

I hope you all had a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend.  Ours was busy and hot but we got a lot accomplished and we squeezed in some fun with the family and now we begin preparations for another insanely busy week coming up.

Since I can't seem to tell you about the grilled pizza or the Strawberry Shortcake or the fruit dip or the housewarming party or the grandgirl's first birthday party, I thought I would show you what is going on outside my doors.  The inside of my house is still a mess; but, the outside makes me extremely happy.  I hope you enjoy it, as well.



















Now, if I can manage to not get eaten alive by the ravenous flying bugs here in New England, I will be all set.

I'm linking up for the first time here with Sidewalk Shoes for Garden Tuesday.
  
Won't you join us?

Have a happy Tuesday!  I'm going to prepare for my baby's high school graduation. 

Where are my tissues?

    Beautiful, you are getting a lot done, it looks beautiful. I love the Rhododendron!
    I move back inside when the bugs come, can't stand it.

    Great pics of a lovely garden.

    I know what you mean about the bugs--they are just beginning to come out in my Michigan garden--where it is 95 degrees today-- UGH...we hate hot weather like this! My plants don't like it either.
