Still Not Done

Yesterday it got up to a record-breaking 97 degrees in Minneapolis...it was over 100 in other parts of Minnesota. Just last weekend I was scared of frost.

Last night me and the husband got lots of stuff done in the yard. Jim put in the last couple of cedar edgings in the backyard. He weeded all the day lilies on the side of the house and mulched that area. I got the ornamental variegated grass put in the front of the house, seen here:


It's a little far away...I split up a bunch of the hosta that were going crazy and lined the area in front of the bushes. That whole area was mulched before but nothing was growing in there. Then there was a big gap between the bushes that are next to the house and the hosta, so that's where I put in the ornamental grass. There was still another gap in there but it was in a semi-shady area so we didn't want to put any plants in there. We went to the garden store on Central (almost Columbia Heights) and picked up an antiqued - maybe authentically, not sure - wrought iron dragonfly to stick in there. You can't hardly see it in the below picture unless you know what to look for, see if you can find it:
