FRONT YARD LANDSCAPING

Before



After

We purchased a new hose holder for the side of the house but first Andrew had to untangle the mess.
We can now easily water the new landscape. But we have to plant it first.
We bought a tree and some bushes (roses and this other bush thing) and a bunch of seed. We'll see if any of these seeds spring up and bloom. We sure hope they do.
Andrew did a great job of marking out the area and we worked hard to dig it up, add edging and prepare it for plants. We learned quickly that we have really good soil! Hopefully that means lush and healthy plants!

We did run into a few roots that we had to tear out. Fortunately they were dead and came up easily.
Margie worked hard to level the dirt.
Andrew planting one of our wild rose bushes. They are supposed to bloom small pink roses all over. Cross your fingers that our plants will actually bloom.
Andrew planting the yellow flowering bush under the window.
Margie is planting pretty flowers around our new tree. Hopefully everything blooms and grows. We are so afraid everything will die. We are not green thumbs and this is all new for us. So we'll water it all and pray that something blooms!!

There has been NO time

 For the past two weeks -- we really have had no time to do our dishes...
Our countertop looks like the above picture.....
 Our silverware drawer looks like the above...
We have used almost every bit of silverware in our house....eating cereal with serving spoons is always so much fun!
 And out plate/bowl cupborad looks like this....We even went over to our tupperware cupboard and started using those for bowls!  Why have we not had much time you ask....because we have been working on......
 The High School' Musical production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  We have been the producers/directors and this week has been Dress Rehearsal and performance week.  It has been insane!  But, man is it such a great show!  Luckily, Thursday night we didn't have rehearsal or a performance.  Our first free night in about two weeks.  We decided to use our free time to do some much needed cleaning.  After 40 minutes and some great conversation our kitchen now looks like this....


Back to normal in the kitchen!  Things are looking good!
