Driveway resealed

This week we had some guys come and reseal the driveway. It hadn't been done for several years so would be ruined if it weren't taken care of. They filled all the cracks with tar then sprayed the whole driveway.
It was really thirsty and soaked up the spray. We were pleased with how good of a job they did. The spray went on brown and turned jet black as it dried.
They were careful of the rocks and flowers so it looked good when it was all done. We couldn't drive on it for 24 hours so drove thru the yard down by the garden.
Mom suggested we take some pictures of her flowers now in full bloom so here are some fun random pictures in the yard. When we came to live with Mom and Pops we said we wanted the yard to be like a beautiful park for Mom and Pops to enjoy. These pictures show where we are at this point. There is a lot more we can do but this is probably the "Park" for this Summer. Now we will start adding more perrenials and long lasting beautiful areas. Enjoy the pictures!

That's no park. It looks like the Garden of Eden. You guys are amazing. None of my petunias even grew this year. Who can't grow petunias?!

Not only are the pictures of your flowers beautiful, but to see them in person makes the pictures pale in comparison. You have done such a stunning job on the house and grounds. Now if you're interested, I have 5 acres that would LOVE your handiwork!!!
