Well I was finally able to pick up $20 in plants and get more color in our front yard. This little planter has been a problem area so far. This pink plumeria tree is in and in full bloom right now and creates a lot of shade here. I thought this would be a full sun area because it is on the south side of the house. I planted a bunch of plants this spring that never came up. I did pick up a red hibiscus awhile back that has done well. So now I picked up a bunch of very colorful coleus plants and dispersed them in the bare patches. I am loving all the color there. I wonder how this will look when the plumeria tree has less leaves...

New cement future address mosaic
Well we finally poured a little concrete to connect our two walks. The past owners had planted hedges and dug out this piece of concrete so that the hedge would grow across. They had 4 large dogs that would bark at the kids leaving school.
Well, we did away the hedge in the front and on the driveway side and went back to using the front gate. Now Brad and I are planning to do a tile mosaic of our address and some tropical plants. Brad also had a good idea of bringing the gate back behind the soon to be mosaic. I love that idea. Now we just have to get cracking with the tile work. Our friend Sandee offered up her tile stash. I need to finish our design and get to busting tile.
