My Garden of Eden!

Hey Everybody!
Yesterday my sister, Marilyn came over and redid my patio as a birthday gift.
For those of you who don't know, There is a sliding glass door in the living room that opens out into an area of cement block and WEEDS. The block is in the middle and there is about 2 feet of dirt around the perimeter where flowers are to be planted, well, the dirt is clay and nothing will grow except weeds. Weeds are a hardy plant, growing in any kind of soil, in all kinds of weather in any zone area, they require no special feeding or fertilizer. You can pull them but that only encourages them to grow more. Well, she enlisted Bob's help and she "whacked"
all the weeds, they dug up the dirt, laid down black cloth ground cover, covered that with cypress chips, laid down 4 18"x18" pavers and set big pots of flowers on them, also some hanging flowers strategically placed, I bought 2 roses bushes and they planted them. (My color scheme is all pinks and purples with some white flowers) There is a nice hanging plant set in my bird bath and some statuary by the rose bushes (an Angel) then some indoor/outdoor carpeting was placed in the middle area and my table with umbrella and chairs were placed in the middle.BEE-YOOT-EYE-FUL!!! My son Randy and his wife came up from Pittsburgh for a visit. I hadn't seen him for a long time, today is his 40th birthday. We sat on the patio the whole time they were here. We are going to meet them for lunch today. I am going to get my Sunday Paper and sit on the patio with my coffee. Did I mention it is beautiful out there?
