We spent Saturday working on our landscaping. We figured it was about time we did something since it had been empty for 4 years. So, we got up and went to Lowe's to get some plants and mulch. Avery and I headed to Wal-Mart to see what they had for plants and this is what we ended up with. Not too bad. I can't believe what a difference it makes in the appearance of our house. We should have done it a lot sooner! It was a beautiful day. Mason and Avery enjoyed spending the afternoon outside and cooperated surprisingly well. In the first picture, the box that appears empty actually has a rose bush. It was huge last year but it's really old and hadn't been cut back in a long time. So, Dustin cut it back earlier this spring and we're hoping it bushes back out. Thanks to our neighbors for helping us! Amy helped us with the planting and placement and we borrowed our other neighbors little tiller to prepare the area. Thanks guys!!
At the beginning of spring, we bought a little finch feeder so the kids could watch the birds out of the upstairs window. Today we upgraded to the big daddy feeder. The little feeder kept getting lost as the tree filled out and you couldn't even see the birds. Mason is pretty excited about the new one. We should have no problems seeing them now!!
