Jay and I live on a tiny little street. It's a side street of a side street of a side street, so there isn't much action on our short little road. So I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that when Jay and I started doing some landscaping, we'd be the talk of the street and everyone started conveniently "taking walks" to see what we were doing. Most of our neighbors have been living on our street for more than 20 years, just to give you an "idea" about the average age range:)
Our front yard was pretty much a mish-mosh of random plants and bushes everywhere, so we pulled everything out and we're starting over......I forgot to take "before" pictures - I always forget about that! Anywho, we probably should have come up with a plan for what we want to plant in its place before we pulled everything out, but this is pretty much how the scene looked: Jay and I, working outside pulling/chopping/cutting everything up for about 5 hours (with neighbors coming up to us making comments like "that's, uh, ambitious" throughout), then we stood back, looked at our blank yard and said, "k, now what?"
So that's what our Memorial Day weekend will probably look like - lots of planting and trips to Home Depot - so we can calm our neighbors nerves about all of the "craziness" that's going on at our house:)
These fun pink guys are the only things that are left in our little yard - they were just too pretty I couldn't pull them out!
Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!
