Butterfly Garden Progress.

We are slowly getting the Butterfly Garden under control.

I want you to sear these images into your collective memories so when you return to Sandpipers the lush flowering growth and fluttering butterflies will be a pleasant surprise.

Gee, I must love pressure!I just love Round-up!

As soon as the wind dies down I'm out there spraying like a demented tomcat.

And it's working.Now the garden just looks like a bunch of bedraggled bushes in a field of dead grass.

With ruts.

Yes. My golf cart got stuck in the mud after the last rain.

I'm not used to mud. It's a foreign concept.

After all, no real rain here for, what, 9 months?
Fortunately Lanny was walking by, and with Jim & John P.'s help,

got me pushed out of the mire.Left my mark, though.

But....we have a plan to make the garden even more attractive than it is right now.

Oh, I can hear the skepticism. How can it be more attractive, you ask?

We Have A CHIPPER!

Yes indeedy.

An attachment to the Kaboda reduces all the

big piles of tree trimmings to wonderful mulch.

Mulch to cover the dead grass in the garden.

I am so stoked!I don't have a picture of it. It WAS sitting right here working mightily on this pile of branches...but...but...Jay touched it.

And it jammed.

So it disappeared for a day or two, but I am assured it's fixed and back to work.

Meanwhile,

Let's just admire the awesome beauty of the finished product.

Gorgeous!
