IT's Mulch TIME

Finally we mulched! So after a couple weeks of having a load of mulch in old blue it was nice enough and we had the time to put down our landscaping fabric and then mulch our flower beds... more like weed beds... in the backyard! HAZZA! so pics of BEFORE and AFTER :o)

before the corner tree

after - with mulch and tree trimming

before - corner by the ally

after with beautiful mulch

before - other corner sans mulch

after - photo taken in the morning because I remembered I forgot to take this corner picture!I do have a tendency to not take enough before pictures because I just want to get started and forget about the camera... ah well!

On to the Front Yard! My rents were here last weekend and we did a quick trip to Home Depot and they bought us some pretty plants/flowers for our front :o) But it was raining Sunday so we did not plant them then. Although, then it worked out and Teresa was at the house last night helping us mulch and she had bought us a nice little bush for the front as well. So here we go!

before - right side of the house

after- with the mulch... little messy but what a pretty flower bush from Teresa and then a petunia beside the big rock! The other side will be getting the same pretty flower bush they are perennials!
now... I did not really get a good before picture of the left side of the house...

So you can kinda see the dirt in the front bed there... Mr. Chris looks thrilled, he was digging the holes for the flowers and we are placing and planting the flowers!

after- the left side of the house! Woohoo!

we had lots of fun and it didn't take too long. Now we just have to work on our backyard grass... that is pretty much just dirt piles with weeds on it and grassy patches! woohoo! one thing at a time!

And here is Mr. Chris watering our new plants with our cooler... time to invest in a large watering can or even a hose... we had one... but had to cut it and use it to drain our water tank this one time when it was leaking... we did ride it out for the whole winter and in the spring it burst... now we have a new one.

Well in case you were worried or wondering Mr. Chris got a call from the vet today saying Lily is doing fine with her surgery and we can phone tomorrow around 10:00 to book a time to pick her up. They like to give them a bath and feed them breakfast in the morning. Woohoo a bath for Lily! Miss her and its just been one night! Gabby was looking out the front window all night... I was telling myself it is because she is looking for Lily...

Until Next Time -
