This is how the front of the house looked last year.
It is so bare now I can not wait to plant again. Mike loves flowers as much or more than I do. Tho this year we will be a little late in planting as the support beams under the porch need replacing and new decking put down. The porch kind of bounces when you walk on it. I keep waiting to break one of the boards. In the grape vine wreath to the right a robin had built a nest in it with 4 eggs. Im afraid one the neighbors barn cats or something got her as she dissappeared. She had gotten used to Mike and I and did not automatically fly off when we were around.
