We all have done some type of landscaping at one time or another. Going out on a Saturday morning to mow the lawn. Picking out just the right area in your backyard so your vegetable garden will have the most sunlight during the day. Staining your backyard deck to protect it from the wear and tear of the outside elements. Choosing just the right type of plants to accent those shady areas around your home. Making sure you have the correct tools and equipment to complete your projects.

First of all I would like to wish all of our  garden enthusiasts who follow us here at Landscape Living a Happy New Year. Winter has a long way to go but I cannot help but to look forward to the upcoming spring and summer gardening season.

Even though spring seems to be far away. Time has a way of sneaking up on you and before you know it you are running around trying to prepare your landscape and garden area to plant your flowers and vegetables for the season. So before you get to far down the road you might want to do some preparation by cleaning up around the front and backyard areas of your home.

One of the tools that I find useful around my home is a leaf blower. They come in handy for all types of cleanup around the front and backyard of your home. Some of to days models of leaf blowers also pickup and turn the fallen leafs on the ground into mulch that you can use when you are planting your flowers and vegetables.

So why not get a jump on the gardening season by taking account of what needs to be cleaned up and repaired around your property. Then take into consideration on whether a leaf blower would be a useful tool in your garden shed to make cleanup around your property faster and easier to do.

As days become shorter and temperatures begin to drop slightly, it becomes time to think about cleaning up your lawn and garden and preparing for either a winter garden or next spring's garden. It's important that you perform all your fall preparations with care for the environment in the forefront of your mind. A little organization of your  garden landscape and garden tools will make a smooth transition into the next gardening season.

Labor Day has arrived at our door steps indicating the end of a long and fun summer holiday season. As I woke up this morning and looked out the window I noticed a strange object floating in the air. I thought to myself was it a bird ?, was it a plane ?, no, To my suprise and delite it was the annual flight of the Colorado Balloon Festival hot air balloons flying majestically overhead. This has been a tradition in this are for the past 33 years and it is such fun watching the hot air balloons brighten up the skyline with such beautiful colors.

 Here is a pretty orange and blue air balloon gliding by the rooftops of a neighborhood and we even have a satellite view.

 Even our cat Puffy was enjoing the  images of the colorful air balloons gliding to their final destination.

 Another air balloon flying over the rooftops. They where flying so low that you could almost talk to the people in the baskets.

 Here is our final image of a yellow air balloon crossing the deep blue skies. It was a perfect day to watch all of beautiful air balloons filling up the sky with such pretty colors. As the end of the summer draws near we hope that you have had  a wonderful summer and a joyous Labor Day weekend. Know it's time for me to light up the grill and enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend
