This morning, we tackled our flower beds. Our next-door neighbor is replacing the bricks around her flower beds and trees and is building a small stone "wall" around them. She offered her bricks, and we graciously accepted. The front of our house has some nice shrubs, and the flower beds are clean. But, it was lacking in color. So, we spiced it up with some colorful flowers too. Chris spent almost 4 hours working to remove the plastic border from around the flower beds, dig up space for the bricks, lay the brick border, and do all the normal yard work (I know, I know...my husband is a hunk :) I spent a little over an hour planting the pretty flowers. We are really pleased with the way it looks. It is always amazing how a little color and nice brick border can make such a difference! Enjoy the before and after pictures (you will need to click on the pictures and make them bigger to really be able to see the difference).
