The front planting bed today.
'Felicia's Woods' in the back yard.
April 27th, 1999 was the day we moved into our wonderful place here.
We closed and then rushed here with the keys to our first 'New' house!
On the way we stopped and picked up Chinese food, forgetting that we hadn't moved any silverware yet. We ate with our hands, and shared one plastic fork that Queen Felicia had in her purse.
Our yard initially resembled the Martian landscape. Red clay and weeds!
One of our neighbors who is from South Africa said it
"looks like Hawaii!"
All we know is it is a lot greener, and more protected now.
Now that Soldier Boy is off at school and I have to do all of the mowing, we are planning to do some terracing and other landscaping to eliminate a good bit of the grass cutting chores.
Figures! I finally get it to spread nicely everywhere, and now I am talking about getting rid of it!
Outside work helps to keep us sane, and hopefully a little bit porcine around the middle.
Now, what time does Lowe's open on Saturday?

The before and after pictures are astounding. You all really do have a lovely yard--we love visiting and seeing all that graces your garden!
I remember your yard in the "before" state. It's incredible to see how much it's changed. Your lawn is beautiful! Wish I could be there to rest my eyes in all that green!
