I like the ivy growing up the trees.
I really like these blue flowers.
I even like the yuccas and heather.
But the 6 inch pine needles are a bit much. They never stop falling, not ever. Now if I could only find a market for them, my retirement would be fully funded!
As always, thanks for taking a moment to stop and say hello.
I appreciate your time and your comments.

Don has to have something to mow but I'm like you. I'd rather not have to do much in the yard as far as mowing.
I prefer stuff over lawn any day!
The ivy growing up the tree is very pretty! I know my husband would appreciate not having to mow, too. :)
I also wanted to let you know that I posted your guest post on how to make a dry-erase board today. Here's the link:

Thanks for guest posting at my blog!
I think I'd rather have the stuff instead of a lawn too. I know I wouldn't miss mowing! I hope you and your family had a blessed Easter :)
I think you could make pine needle baskets from them and I've heard of adding them to popoori (sp?) ,, the needles I mean,, maybe you fund your returement,, looks a bit dificult though,, my mum had a small basket made of needles but I think they may work with green ones,, thanks for sharing,,
Melynda, they sell bales of pine needles at Home Depot. ;-) If it was up to me, we wouldn't have a lawn either. But the Mister likes to have grass.
I have way too much lawn. Have a nice day.
Oh Melynda, I'm laughing over your pine needles! Since they can't be of much use as your "funded retirement", they could perhaps go to your garden compost! Have a nice day, Melynda, hopping over to Frugal Creativity after this!
Ground cover can be a beautiful thing:@)
I don't care what's in my yard as long as it's green. Too much brown here. I would kill for pine trees! I wouldn't kill just anyone of course, I'm not that cruel.
Pine needles make me think of camping for some reason but I'm sure if I had them all over my yard I wouldn't have such fond thoughts of them, lol! Already looking forward to what we're not eating tomorrow.........I hope it's disgusting! :D
A no mow lawn sounds pretty good to me! :)
Stopping by from Pam's Garden Tuesday!
We're taking down trees in the side yard to get enough sun to the ground for something other than dirt and dog leavings to grow! We have ivy on one side of our house, and I love it.
Welcome to Bloomin' Tuesday!Love the ivy going up the tree! I just fill as much lawn as possible with plants so I have less to mow every year! Great combo of the ivy and vinca. Jean
I love Vinca!I'm hoping to lessen my lawn in the future...
Vinca is a hardy plant that will even grow in the AZ summer. Love them!
How many pine needles does it take to weave a basket? I know, I used to have several pines in my yard and there was ALWAYS a pile of needles underneath!
I have never mowed my lawn! lol
love the ivy!
ooo, I love ivy!!!!
Thank You for stopping by for a visit....Julian
