A little yard work

I've been having fun in the new house.  We have been working hard unpacking, and I finally got the last box unpacked this weekend. Yea! It is amazing what a great feeling it is to have everything put away and in it's place. I think I made two big loads to the DI and we made at least four trips to the dump. Everything feels good, clean, and organized and it it's place. Now on to projects!  We decided that the first thing we were going to tackle was the yard. This is the yard the day we moved in...

Just lovely isn't it. My father in law chopped down that blossoming tree in the front hiding the house, and we went to town tearing out bushes and planting perennials. Here's what it looks like today.

Yea! I am so happy with our progress.  The hole in the front is where the tree was. We are going to get some sod for it, and next year I am putting a flower garden there.  I can't wait for the weather to warm up so the flowers can grow nice and big.  My next project is painting the front door a fun color, and the chairs black. Can't wait to show!
