The weather has been absolutely perfect this weekend. Sunny, warm, a breeze, blue skies....ahhhh, it feels like spring even though it is early January. The strawberry beds are doing well and we have bluebonnets popping up all over the back forty. No mowing until they have bloomed and set seed for next year. I am planning a rose garden full of antique roses, just behind where Ashley is sitting in this picture. Between us and the barns. I will make a large raised bed, with some sort of arched structure in the middle for climbing roses, and little walkways between the sections. The roses do best with lots of air circulation so the paths will allow better air flow plus access to the plants. Then there will be a flagstone patio under the pine trees up further, with some stone benches. Should make a very nice resting spot.
I have kind of a 5-10 year plan for the landscaping. Eventually it will involve lots of paths and little gardens all over the property. I like plants that will attract butterflies and hummingbirds and hopefully won't be so delicious that the deer mow them down. 
Look at these happy kids, just hanging out together in the yard soaking up the sunshine and the love. I wish Sunday would last for a week.......
