I think Spring is FINALLY here! Of course it is still rather nippy in the AM, which means I have to change from jeans to shorts around lunchtime... Oh well, I still love it, but I am looking forward to 90 degree weather! :)
We decided to modify the little patio area out in front of the house, looks great I think. Yes, Carolyn did the vast majority of the work, including transplanting those leylands from back by the pool where they were getting smothered by the other plants back there...
This corner as you pull in the driveway was a constant nightmare, we never have been able to get grass to grow there, so decided to just make the entire corner a bed... Also turned out great, and yes, Carolyn did all the planting there too... :)
It is too bad that the dogwoods and azaleas only bloom for a few weeks, but they are pretty when they are in bloom... What is the wheelbarrow doing there? Next pic... :) 
Some jackass ran over the drain I had installed there years ago, of course it very likely could have been me... :) Anyway, I finally dug it up and put in a new one. Without it, that area becomes a muddy mess when it rains... So back in business there... 
Yes, we also have more puppies, sigh. Of course last night someone came and bought them all but one and that one we are giving away to one of our friends, so thankfully getting rid of them this time was super easy... :)

Landscaping is looking really good!! We are just now trying to get some grass to grow in our awful yard. If that works, we'll add some flowers too. :)
Thanks. I don't even know why we bother since I 'think' we are moving, but who knows... It does look nice... :)
Well, it should up your resale value - people like seeing a nice yard. :) Also - how many cocker spaniels do you guys have now? And you bought a new one? :)
Haha! No we didn't, Brianna had puppies, we sold all but one we were going to give to a friend, she didn't want it, so we gave it to Taylor because she begged for it, so yeah... Ugh. Sigh.
And yeah, we have tried to "up the resale value", not working in this economy, we have been fools spending so much on this place, time to move on...
lol - from Taylor's post, I was thinking you guys had gotten another dog besides the puppies. :)
