Wordless Wednesday
Posted in Gardening, Home, Photography on October 7, 2009|
C & I moved into our newly-built home three and a half years ago and we have been slowly finishing things since then. The front yard has been a work in progress since that time, and this summer has seen the culmination of many ideas. We are not completely finished yet, but we are VERY close!
Back in the early spring, additional shrubs and roses were bought and planted. Throughout the summer, we added edging, lights and landscape rock. Ta Da! It has been a lot of work, but we think it has turned out great!
Here are a couple of before shots:
During…
More during…
A few late nights…
And finally, success!
Now we can sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor! (Or sit back and figure out what our next project will be.)
Look what we did!

The front yard landscaping is almost done! A local home improvement store delivered 8 scoops of landscape rock yesterday and C’s dad was available to spread it tonight! A big green tractor with a front-end loader and a father-in-law that is willing to help are wonderful things! Thanks again!
I dug the last of the potatoes from the raised bed today. So sad! I pulled a few carrots as well, but there are still a few of those left. The peppers are also still producing.
It has been a very successful week for getting things accomplished!

Oh, wait…it is a BIRD! About an hour ago, I heard loud squawks outside. I was still about half asleep and thought I must be dreaming. C came in and said you have to see this. Sure enough, there had been squawking and C had found the source.
A gaggle of Canadian geese had flown low over the house and landed in a freshly seeded field across the road. Sorry, C’s Dad! It had just been seeded yesterday! How’s that for timing?
Yesterday afternoon was very productive around here. C & I put lights and edging in the landscaping in front of the garage. Only about 13 more lights to go around the porch and down the retaining wall! C’s dad also leveled out the 3 piles of dirt that we acquired back in the spring. Thanks again! It all looks so much better!
After all this and cooking supper and washing dishes, we called it a night.
