A Stab at Landscaping


Now that we have grass, I've been trying to start on some landscaping. Jason B. and Jen told me about a sale at the nursery, so Rylan and I ventured over a few days ago to see what they had. He had a blast because there were lots of puddles in which to throw rocks. We ended up getting a weeping cherry (something I have always wanted!) for the front flower bed, and 6 evergreens to start a row of trees along the driveway. Jason B. was even kind enough to go pick them up for me . Now we need to get them planted soon before they dry out. Hopefully I can talk my kind and loving husband into helping me dig holes this weekend.

Speaking of landscaping, here is my pitiful start. :) I found some super cheap end-of-year bushes at Lowe's, and figured if they don't make a comeback next year I can replace them without loosing much money. I think a shot of Miracle Grow in the spring will perk them up and get them going. If they do survive, that's not too bad to landscape my whole flower bed for $20!

your kind and loving husband is flying in from Amsterdam, he isn't sure he will be up to digging holes.
