Long post with Excessive photos...
I've been behind in everything. This was "social week-end", so I got basically nothing done writing wise.
Got the pear tree all trimmed up. The reward for doing it oneself is this:
Also had the locks redone today as well as the new exterior light fixtures installed. We went with a pro on those and it turned out to be a good thing, since the pendant by our front door wasn't actually attached to a junction box. It was just wired up to a piece of wood slid into the opening. We weren't too surprised, since the wiring in the house is pretty bad.
( Fixture photos under the cut... )
I also spent a good deal of time transplanting, got new abelias in the ground, moved the hellebores, gaura, hydrangea, and geraniums. I hope to transplant some chrysanthemums tomorrows.
And finally, for the first time my lenten rose has decided to put on lovely blooms.
