A Work In Progress

Here are some pictures from this weekend's efforts. Please ignore the mostly dead grass; that will be revived next spring.

We put rock down in front. It still needs to be smoothed out a little and eventually we will get some big colorful pots to sit here.

Here is the berm we made. A vast improvement on the chunk of dead ground that was here before. This afternoon I planted 40 bulbs (daffodils and tulips) and added the mulch. Theoretically, next March/April there should be a lot of pretty flowers in there.

The hedges in the background were also trimmed (a lot) and shaped by my wonderful mother-in-law.

I have a cute little row of mums right in front of the porch that will eventually form a small hedge.

So excited that we are making progress! Next up -- painting the living room/kitchen. We bought the paint this morning!
