Summer Project #3: The Front Yard

I haven't done much to the front yard this year.  Everything seems to be doing well.  I added two types of Phlox and some violas.  Most things have come and gone already.  The daisies (from my sister's wedding) were over two feet tall and will be moved to the backyard and replaced by columbines.  The rose of sharon is blooming nicely and will need a severe trimming in February.  The lilac on the left probably doesn't get enough sun for its location; the burning bush in the middle has done nicely and will add some nice color at the end of the season.

The crazy Russian Sage makes the yard look like mess from this angle.

I thought this was going to be the last daisy of the year, but it looks like there is another one that will be ready in a couple of days.
