I never, in my life, thought this house could look so neat and tidy. Dan and I used to drive past this house on our way to work every day and I never gave it a second glance. Now with some paint, new gardens, GRASS, and a new apple tree, it's looking pretty darn good.
As a testament to how much Dan loves me, he dug through our very compacted gravel drive way so I could have a garden on the right side of our front stairs. Previous to this, the gravel went right up to the stoop there. Here's a reminder of what our house looked like about 2 months ago:
Welcome to bores-ville! |
My mom and I went out flower shopping on Saturday morning. We each got a rhododendron, and I got a hydrangea, some veggie plants, and a bunch of annuals. We broke up some hostas and lilies from my mom's gardens and planted them here as well. Dan and I also planted an apple tree at the front of our property! We have a crab apple tree in the back, so we just might get apples one of these days.
Love it! Wow...what a transformation! Isn't it fun to start with a fresh palatte with gardening :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am having so much fun with the gardens, though they already need to be weeded. Our yard was pretty neglected before :)
