Landscaping Weekend

It was a lovely weekend in Decatur, Alabama! The temp was in the high 80's with sunshine all around and a cool breeze to boot.

Hubby and I pulled out the ugly holly bushes in front of our house and yanked up the rotten landscaping timbers to replace with a stone flower bed border. Take a look. I layed every single stone myself perfectly if I do say so myself!


Hubby and I went shopping for new shrubbery to replace the hollys and came up with Wintergreen Boxwood in the back, Hellera in the center, and Blue Bog Andromeda in the front. The andromeda's will bloom next spring, I think. I hope they bloom all summer but I really don't know. It will be a surprise.


A couple of months ago my husband painted my shutters. They were sun dried and faded hunter green. Now they are sleek shiny black. Looks good with that new black roof. Now if I could only muster the energy to pull up all of the ivy around the pond and replace it with ferns, life would be great.
