Zone 4 Landscapes

The weekend was almost a total wash out.  It drizzled rain the entire weekend.  Weekends like this present the lovely opportunity of no outdoor chores and lots of reading and movie watching.  We made the most of it.  We watched two documentaries - one on a Florida serial killer and the second on WW2 and a secret intelligence group fighting the war - obviously from my Netflix list. Tim always knows which movies are mine because they are usually morbid.

I made an attempt to grout backsplash tile that I have been postponing forever - I hate grouting and that chore didn't last long.  We puttered around the house all weekend and finally on Sunday the sun came out and it was a gorgeous Fall afternoon.  We have lost a lot of leaves already and we spent the mid-afternoon winterizing what was left of the garden.

Our neighbors, M&M, stopped by and invited us to an open house at their landscaper's home who just completed their patio this summer.  We were thrilled to get out of the house for a couple hours and we drove with them over to Andes.  Zone 4 Landscapes is the company M&M hired for their patio project and they did a great job. We are considering using them for a project around our pond.  I had checked out their website and was excited to see the house and garden featured on the website.  The house has a phenomenal view and this gorgeous garden that is overflowing with amazing plants, shrubs and trees.  Mel, the owner, gave us a quick tour and we wandered around the property oohing and aahing and taking pics.  It was a nice break on a rainy weekend and we drove back to the house, had a late lunch and then drove back to the city.
