"Before"On Friday morning, Abbie and I decided to head over to the store and haul ~70 Cobbler Rocks and 20 cute flowers to plant in our now 'naked' front yard. After 10 years, I've decided we're done with green shrubs and moving on to a more colorful theme. Abbie's 4+ now and eager to help redecorate our front porch!
Cobbler stones for flower bed edging
It was going to rain any time (or those dark clouds just like to hang out above and spook us...), so we hurried off to buy the flowers and the "teeth-looking" flower bed edging at Home Depot. After I was done hauling the stones to the cart, then to the car, then to the front yard, I'm already panting for air!
"In-process"We went to lunch at Sam Woo (not Sha-Mu, as Abbie called it in the video)....haha....then came back and got to work! IT was lots of fun, though lots of work. By 6pm, I was so sore and my back was sore! I'm really aging! ~ Seriously considered getting a back replacement ~ .
But it was worth it, and our front yard suddenly looked huge! What an Extreme Makeover, Home Edition!
"After"Happy New Year, everyone! Don't be afraid to try new things, it will really change your outlook and you'll feel great! (Unless....the association writes us and warns us the flowers are 'too simple', or illegal, or something....then we'll have to do another makeover!)
Abbie got sidetracked and started taking pictures of her 'baby'
