Today, we finished the decorative fence in the side of our yard. After the wood has dried we will go back and paint it white to match the fences in front of our house. We will also be adding some decorative finials to the top of the posts.
As the spring bulbs are dying back... the summer plants are coming in nicely.
The paperbark maple also seems to be making a comeback. :) HOORAY.
A few days ago we finished the tree rings in front of the house. They are completely planted and mulched.
We went with shrub roses to add to the country "cottage" charm.
Today we also discovered that our
egg...
was an egg no more.
