No More Ugly Bushes...YEAH!

New Light, Numbers & Mailbox

Drum Roll Please...Our New Front Yard (notice the arches)

Since Daren bought our house 2 years ago I have been super anxious to work on the front yard. For everyone who has been to our house you know we use our back door as our main entrance rather than our front door. Therefore, not everyone really pays attention to our front yard as much as the backyard. We have worked really hard on sprucing up and maintaining the back, while ignoring the front. I finally had enough. SO...I arranged for Stump Busters to come and get rid of the roots we had in our front. Leading us to HAVE to cut down the ugly 5 foot bushes we had covering the front of our house before Stump Busters could arrive. I talked Dad and Mom in to coming to town to help assist with our project. They are both incredible with renovations and Mom has a green thumb. Dad, Mom and I all went to Oakland Nursery on Friday and picked out all new shrubbery. Daren got the final say in our selections and the layout. After the game on Saturday the planting began. We made a very good team. The goal was "Contemporary Cottage"...a little bit of me and a little bit of Daren. I think we made it happen. And by "we" I must dedicate that mostly to Dad and Mom! With new landscaping, new lighting, new numbers, new mailbox, and new fixtures to the overhang I think we accomplished our goal! I look forward to adding some window boxes, a stone path and possibly painting our shutters in the Spring. THANK YOU DAD AND MOM for EVERYTHING!!! We could not have done it without you!
