better late than never

I can’t believe it’s been almost 4 years this august since we moved into this house. it was a brand new home, and while there are many positives that come with “buying new”, there are also some downsides. one of them being landscaping….or the lack thereof.

our front yard had a few basic shrubs and I’ve rearranged and added some plants here and there. the lots here are so small that there really isn’t a lot you can do. so I remain content changing out the annuals each year and trying different combinations in my pots.

our backyard was a blank slate. it was completely bare, is VERY small, and offers very little privacy. I’ve been bugging asking sean for years if we could add some trees and plants, but there was always something higher on the priority list. you know how that goes! I was hoping by adding some trees and privacy, we would want to be out there more. when it’s not raining that is!

this spring it finally happened. sean, and his trusty helper dylan, did a great job cutting in a bed and adding some gorgeous trees. now I just need to add some low lying plants in and around them for color.





It will be so fun to look back on these pictures 15 years from now and see how much everything has grown and filled in!
