I have been a bit preoccupied with getting the yard in order and working on so many projects (that I plan to share with you) that I haven't had a lot of down time to post. That will change within the next few weeks though.
I am including a picture of some of my landscaping. I have a lot more I plan to share but thought I would include this one just because it is always nice to have at least one picture to look at in a post. Very few people like to read a post without having a picture.
When we moved into this house about 6 years ago this area was just grass and weeds. I had this wheel barrow that I found about 20 years ago half buried in the ground and wanted to incorporate it into my landscaping. It has some holes in it but I put some landscape fabric under the dirt so it would not fall through. I always plant wave petunias in it because they fill out so nicely and are fairly inexpensive. Plus I let the kids pick the colors so they are different every year. I think I may have spent $14 total for the flowers. The rest of the flowers and hostas were given to me or I transplanted from other areas in the yard.
I freshen up the mulch every year (I prefer the red shredded mulch). There is a few trees that drop all these tiny leaves which you can see in the picture. Doesn't make for the best picture but I still think it looks pretty. Normally we have landscape lights around here but my husband has been working so much he hasn't had time to get them out yet.
