A Few Side Projects

Lately I have been doing some side projects with a very talented builder.  Here are some of the things we have done lately.

What I have been up to/I am back to Blogging

Plants around the yard

 

 Callicarpa americana
 American beautyberry 
I planted 3 of these early last year. This is the first year they have bloomed and they are amazing!  Growing very fast in full shade.

 One of 3 Clematis growing on my fence at the car port.

Fallopia japonica 'Crimson Beauty'
Crimson Beauty Knotweed
This has become one of my favorite plants in my garden.  I have heard it is invasive, but I have not seen the tendency yet.

Deutzia gracilis
Slender Deutzia
This deutzia was growing on a job site I was on.  I am shocked that it is growing in our area and has been her for over 8 years.

Decidious Azalea
I think it is Mandarin Lights, but if anyone knows otherwise please let me know.

I received this after helping a contractor do a small design for a client.  I think I could get used to being paid in plants!

 Viburnum carlesii
Korean Spice Viburnum
Greatest fragrance of any plant! 

Wine and Roses Weigela

I can not express how much I love this plant!

It is Fishing Time again!

Really Little Hyacinth...Really?

So, we had no winter this year and my perrinials are going to go ahead and bloom a few month early...and I am sure get zapped by a late snow or frost for their haste...

 The lambs ear never though about going dormant this year!

 The NRS Holly put on a show all "winter" long!

 Andre Aka. Killer Kat. Aka. KK stalking its pray (more than likely a doodle)

Really...

Rare Perfection!

My sister came over for dinner the other night and provided the steaks.  2" Butcher Cut and trimmed BEAUTIFULLY marbled Ribeyes!

There is only one way to prepare a steak!  Worcestershire Sauce, lots of salt and lots of pepper.  Hot ass grill and about 6min on each side! 

Rare perfection!

 The next morning I threw the steaks on the cast iron with some eggs over easy!  What a great way to start the morning!

Even Miss. Picky liked it! (she had scrambled b/c she has 

yet to understand the wonderfulness of a runny egg!
