The happenings around the Allen home

I worked very hard today in the living room and did manage to get some things accomplished. I  still have a lot left to do but it will still be waiting for me in the morning..tonight Roger planted all of our new plants for the backyard, we even bought a new tree..I am so excited to have plants out there...

Here are some of the plants...

The gardenias...oh they smell so pretty

The Blue imperial plumbagos

Our nice rock fountain with a beautiful hibiscus in back

A dwarf crepe myrtle bush

Also a butterfly bush

And here is our tree, it is a magnolia tulip tree, the blooms are supposed to be 14" across, can't wait to see them..

Roger has worked so hard out there and I try to help him but I am just not much help between my back hurting or my hands not having any strength there isn't much I can do...I did do the supervising though..

I had a wonderful Mother's Day, Roger BBQ'd rib eye steaks and we had corn on the cob with them...

Jennifer and Matthew were both here the other day to show me the new car Jennifer bought, it's a Chrysler Seabring, and real pretty here is a picture of it...

Here is a picture of Jennifer and Matthew in it as they are leaving...
