Continuing on the home makeover theme, March is here and we decided to finally make the jump and freshen up the look of our front yard by re-doing our flower beds. The process actually started last Spring when we had someone haul off three flatbed trailer loads full of white landscape rock. Continuing with the project this year, we decided to pull up the shrubs for a more open look that wouldn't cover the windows and front door. We planted a few Knockout Rose bushes, and salvia and lariope that will have tiny pink and purple blooms. It looks pretty bare right now, but hopefully everything will start growing and give us some colorful blooms. Blake is also in the process of making shutters for the garage windows, and we will add some planters near the front door.
