Owwwwwwwwwww.....
Between fighter practice on Tuesday and stump pulling yesterday and today, I am one sore chick.
But! I'm so happy about what we're doing that it's not funny. Poor Liam is going to have to deal with all this new stuff when we're gone different places, but ooooooh! It looks sooooo shiny!
Lemme show you!
This is what the front of the house used to look like:
Icky grass, UGLY hedges, and not a flower in sight...
Well, this is what it looks like now (or at least for the next few hours...then there will be MOAR stuff!):
Tomorrow, the last of the ugly shrubs are going to be pulled up and more roses put in, I think. There will be climbing roses on the columns of the front porch, and another climber on the wall next to the established climber. Tomorrow, we finish putting in the roses, re-lay the soaker hose and and take shameless advantage of the city's free mulch program.
The front of the house look SO much more inviting, already. Granted, we're going to have to learn to take care of roses, but I think we can do that. I've already found a great feeder/insect control/disease control solution from Bayer, so I'm thrilled with how it's all turning out.
