Spring is officially here and I am loving it! We have been spending a lot of time in the yard enjoying the beautiful weather.
This post is just a yard update. We have not had the insulation completed yet, but hope to do so in the next month or so. I am crossing my fingers that we get the house painted this summer, but it might have to wait until next year. We bought 5 gallons of Bunglehouse Blue from Sherwin Williams for the shed to see if that is what we want for the house. We plan on painting the shed ourselves to confirm our color choice. I will post some pictures when we get to it!
We found a local craftsman and purchased some bird houses from him. I plan on painting the big one the same color that we choose for our house.
The daffodils are blooming.
Purchased some geraniums to plant in the flower beds in front.
My neighbor's lilac bush. I love it so much, we purchased 5 lilac trees to line the boulevard out front.
Our cacti. They do amazing here with our lack of rain.
The roses on the side of the house. These are my babies... I can't wait for them to burst!
We decided on a Conquest Maple for the front boulevard with the lilac trees. We will get one more eventually for the other end of the boulevard.
One of the 5 lilac trees we planted out front. I am excited for these to get big!
Not the best picture, but this was mid-planting. We have geraniums and blueberries in the garden beds.
We have had a lot of trouble getting anything to grow under this tree... Hopefully this year will be better. I want the english garden look... We have the nekkid look going on right now!
Last year we killed the grass along here and I would like for it to become a path with flowers and plants instead of a grassy area. We planted a Magnolia tree along the fence and will hopefully get a path going through here next year.
The baby Magnolia tree.
This is the raspberry plant that we purchased from a little girl last year. It was only a couple inches tall and grew like crazy last year. We hope it will grow and form a hedge on the trellis that Thomas created.
The front garden bed. We have lots of irises, peonies and daffodils out there.
The tulips by the front rain barrel. We have some gigantic gold fish that keep the rain barrels clean.
I have fond childhood memories of snowball bushes, so I wanted one of my own. We plan on expanding that flower bed out a few feet to include the snowball bush.
Some of the privacy bushes we planted as tiny trees years ago... They are getting bigger every year. We hope to eventually get them to 6' and keep them trimmed nicely.
We bought a couple from Costco to replace the three that weren't doing so well under the walnut tree.
The Clematis before it bloomed. It is beautiful when it flowers.
One of the back garden beds. It should fill in more soon.
