Our goal with our new home is to make it beautiful!
Dad wants to do it for my precious mama and also for my husband and I.
It makes us happy knowing she's looking down from Heaven smiling!
We have a very ugly concrete retaining wall behind our pool
(which is still non-operational) that needs to be covered.
We were looking for something evergreen and beautiful.
We ended up buying a couple of pots of Star Jasmine and
will attach plastic fencing to the wall for it to grow on.
We will of course need more plants but it's a start!!!
The concrete wall is the last photo...
We visited The Plant Emporium in Griffin, GA and
Collier's Greenhouse in Jackson GA.
We will see how this plant works to do the job we want!
The ugly concrete block wall:
I'm so sorry for all of the photos but it was so beautiful
BOTH nurseries were!
BOTH nurseries were!
I enjoyed a wonderful day with my daddy
and we stopped to have dinner together
before heading home.

Treasure your moments together, always.
Hugs and love,

Dear Dawn, I was so sorry to hear that you lost your sweet Mom. Your Dad is doing a lovely job on her garden. I'm sure you'll be able to make that retaining wall a showpiece. Hope the pool is ready for you soon. Enjoy your summer!

Easy to spend a lot of money at these garden centers - everything always looks so inviting. Sounds like you and your dear dad had fun, and yes, spend as much time together as you can.
That wall is certainly going to be difficult to disguise Dawn - wonder why it was ever built as it's not really high enough to do much - perhaps not finished? Doesn't seem you need privacy with such an expanse of land and no homes behind - but climbing plants such as jasmine will be good and perhaps eventually some taller shrubs/small trees in back of the wall to soften the edge. Are you planning to keep the pool? If not I guess the wall could go too. I've had friends who had their pools filled in as they can be a lot of work!
Happy Fourth dear - hope your family will be with you.
