new landscaping


the new landscaping is almost done; we are waiting for someone to come grind out the stumps on either end of the house. the grasses are small now, but they should fill in quickly. we used elijah blue for the front, which will stay small, and little zebra behind, which should grow to 3 feet. at the corners, we used heavy metal no. 3, which should grow to 6 feet. under the bird feeder, we planted praying hands hosta (the leaves grow and remain folded).

landscaping


we decided to address the landscaping in the front of our house. so, no more yew bushes! i'm thinking about decorative grasses instead.



we also cut down the tree in front of my bedroom. it's probably time for some new roller shades and some curtains.
