I'd love a landscaper's plan and someone to do the actual labor! But my budget runs more to free plants and my stamina to little digging... and my yard looks like it, sadly. IL, I'm sure your yard is lovely! Which reminds me - I have one yard-sale hosta still languishing in a pot behind the shed. I really need to go stick it in the ground before it freezes. Has anyone overwintered hostas somewhere indoors??

My notable accomplishment today was getting DH out of the house and to the classes we're signed up for at the local Y. I've been going, he's been avoiding, lol. But today he went, and seemed to enjoy it, so maybe he'll start attending more regularly.
