Sorry for the blogging hiatus. It's been a busy past couple of months! Between travel for work, trips of our own, company in town, and nasty weather, there hasn't been much time to blog.
With Spring FINALLY here, we graciously welcomed the warm temperatures and sunshine we've been lucky enough to have the past couple of weeks. Inspired by the fresh season, Khaner and I rolled up our sleeves and got to work on our sad, very neglected front and back yard. Honest, we love our home and work hard to make it the best possible investment. But with ice, snow, rain and unfavorable temperatures, it took a massive change in seasons to get us out there.
After a trip to Lowes, our $200 bill and 2 day commitment of time was much more wallet-friendly than the $2100 quote we got from our landscaper for ONE project.

My first attempt to plant flowers - can you see how I dumped the remainder of flower fertilizer on the top -oops! The marigolds and petunias are cute pops of color near our front walk. I promised K I'd plant perennials next year. |

K laid bags and bags and bags of mulch - definitely makes the yard look so much pulled together! |

My parents love to complain that we don't have any pavers from our driveway to walk way. Khaner fixed that with some bricks laying around and a few pavers from Lowes. |

Yes, those are all four of our "Yard" trash cans filled with wisteria, branches, leaves and debris from the backyard. The bags of leaves was basically quadrupled after I took this pic |

Not too shabby!

What are some spring projects you enjoy?
