About those flowers...

I know, I know-- I said no flowers. BUT-- the bench still looked REALLY lonely :(

Pansies don't really count as flowers because they'll die half-way through the season.

And lilies don't count because under normal conditions, they'll re-appear every year. I say normal, because I'll find some way to kill them if the deer don't first. Or, Mark will weed-whack them off because they look like a weed to him. (By the way- he did notice the puny little shrubs on his own-- I was impressed!)

Plus, the deer needed some extra food anyway :)
