Star Jasmine and a Garden Path

I planted some star jasmine today.  It's behind some azaleas on the side

of the house that is on one of the walls that forms a courtyard around 

our patio.  It is small right now, but the owner of my favorite nursery

assured me that it is a fast grower.  It smells heavenly already.

This is the flagstone path leading from the guest room to the patio.

It's mostly shady until late afternoon and even then the sun is filtered

because of the big oaks.  I have this area fairly complete now, and then

it's on to complete the area around those big oaks. 

I tend to get overwhelmed with caring for such a big yard and so 

much landscaping.  It's really best for me to complete one area and then

on to the next and to devote a couple of hours a day on the work.  If

I spend too much time looking at the big picture, I just want to throw

up my hands and walk away.  So far, this plan is working for me.

I will have more to show you later this week.  I hope that the weather

has become more spring like for you.  It certainly has here, in fact it's

starting to feel like summer.  Not sure if I am thrilled about that ;-)

Big Texas Hugs,
