Three day weekend up ahead

We are so excited about the upcoming three day weekend! It's a much needed break and we intend to spend it at home. We took a trip to Cave Creek a few weeks ago and bought some pots for our patio so we will definitely work on that.

My Sweetheart works really hard on keeping the backyard maintained. He's created a nice place to sit, relax and escape! Here's some pictures of the backyard. This is the flower garden area with St. Francis under the arbor. We planted annuals and roses and vines there. Eventually the vines should climb up the arbor and create a nice shaded area for St. Francis and all the birds that love to visit the bird bath:




The two trees are "Peanut" and "Butter". Peanut is a grapefruit tree and Butter is a lemon tree. Oh and there's Old Glory peeking in from the top of the photo :)



Here's Leia. She's doing really well. The winter storms were hard on her but she seems to be pulling through it well:


And here's Luke:




And my favorite bush in the yard, because I love the purple flowers:

Meanwhile, inside the house. I updated my "seasonal frame" with Red, White and Blue in honor of Memorial Day:







Happy Memorial Day!~
