I made a new type of coffee filter wreath recently. I've wanted to make a bigger chalkboard coffee filter wreath ever since I made a little one in February (below) but then I got the idea to make the center so that you can take it out and change it for the seasons or just because!

The Garden After The Rain
We've been lucky to get some really good rains lately and I went out after one to take a few pics of the garden. The River Birch and Redbud branches drip on me as I walk down the garden path.

Planting Under Mature Trees
I wanted to share with you an on going project that I started way back in March. Basically I widened the liriope circle around a clump of trees and started adding some new plants under the tree canopy. That area really needed some renovating as you can see in the before photo. Under planting trees with plants (not ivy or grass) can have beautiful results as long as you follow some guidelines. ... Read More about Planting Under Mature Trees
