This is the planter under the front window of our house. My project this week was to remove the purple, thorny bush that was growing in the middle. I hated that bush. Hated it. It grew incredibly fast, and the fine thorns made it a bitch to prune. 
So the Smart Boy and his buddy pulled it out on Thursday, and today I went and bought this Blue Mist Spirea. It was recommended by the Smart Boy, who has been working at a local nursery since May, and already knows much more about plants and gardening than I do. His nursery was having a big sale this weekend, so I got a smoking deal, even without the employee discount.
I also cleared the back flower bed (home of the pernicious snit) in preparation for planting something else next spring.
I love summer, but it's winding down. Bummer.

I *love* blue mist spirea. Mine has been struggling along for years, but at least it hasn't died.
Michelle, I'm lucky if anything I plant doesn't die.
The green thumb skipped me on the family tree...
I thought that read precious snit and thought you were talking about Boogie.
