The longest weekend ever

[gracie_ii]

So my family took advantage of the sunshine that was here for the first time in forever.  We all loaded up the car and drove to Flower World.  If you haven't been I suggest it if you love plants.  It's amazing. Anyway, we pick up most of the plants we wanted.  You see we bought our house 3 years ago, and saw the endless possibilities.  We've been re landscaping the front yard to start..  We kept only 2 original plants, and put in 6 more.  After the weeding, and prepping and digging we finally got our plants in.  Then we got to haul in 12 yards of mulch....but OMG does it look a million times better.  3 days of work, well worth it.  Half of our front yard is completely done, and we already laid out the chalk lines for our next planter we're going to be creating.  I'm still aching from all the work, but I figure I can just shake if off with easy house work.  Here are some pics, I'm so proud of how everything came out.  Thanks for taking the time to look

Looks wonderful. Sometimes I wish I were more of a gardner, but sadly I am a total black thumb. I couldn't even keep my designed for children greenhouse alive. (sgih) Oh well.

Your hard work has paid of beautifully!
