~~~The Landscaping Is (Almost) Done!!!~~~

Hi everyone! I have to say that my dear hubby has been LITERALLY working his butt off. And I mean that: his pants can fall off all on their own!!!! But, the result is wonderful. The builder just does a basic package of a few plants in the front of the house. Joe has done all the way around the rest of the house!!! The only place that isn't planted is where the deck and patio are going to be. Oh, and we had a guy come Thursday to give us an estimate so that could be soon too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to have a deck so I can go out and have my breakfast outside. I used to do that all the time at the old house.So, I will show you around. The builders planted a few bushes in this area, but it gets no sun o very little sun so we have switched out some of the things. The front of the area gets afternoon sun so can have some partial sun bushes. I also added some red and white begonias at the very front. This is the feeder that the bluebirds come to.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpAqqDtIIX5hhM9Tr_N22pBqx2EHIPlL4n65wddepxD2jh5ansjdWdB91VdnEHXA1D9v3MrjiFma7IjGGrRTTuLG6DY3N2dWnifbiKQByKrPh8H45m8UDp8kBVoQdr8pP3UMVLnMpSTKZX/s1600/IMG_0244.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpAqqDtIIX5hhM9Tr_N22pBqx2EHIPlL4n65wddepxD2jh5ansjdWdB91VdnEHXA1D9v3MrjiFma7IjGGrRTTuLG6DY3N2dWnifbiKQByKrPh8H45m8UDp8kBVoQdr8pP3UMVLnMpSTKZX/s640/IMG_0244.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> We brought the stepping stones over from the old house. They had been around the pond but we sit here on the bench at the end of the day so didn't want to walk through the mulch. I also brought the cranes out from the basement. I love them.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1nySTw7dACsKjFaZi8YTHHsI9XXzH2CgpKgJThPb9Tk4AYgUtQCMAT7rQOGjylfJH97RDnAhmGgVAfqBvQ5anjgVULMqssE59M1N1fSQesXoHnYnhAl99GIwNohS6RvonJX0OHtB10x58/s1600/IMG_0245.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1nySTw7dACsKjFaZi8YTHHsI9XXzH2CgpKgJThPb9Tk4AYgUtQCMAT7rQOGjylfJH97RDnAhmGgVAfqBvQ5anjgVULMqssE59M1N1fSQesXoHnYnhAl99GIwNohS6RvonJX0OHtB10x58/s640/IMG_0245.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> It was supposed to rain when I took these so I had taken the cushions inside.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyvMrK3Uf67J9aLTpRA71ECkQ1w68qv9Jjlyt1QAzBvL702nC7Zs4GXKPWCxPVk9lYCugKTFfYaCyyA_U1gcEqc9_Ko3R8hNbsmH1wE5og13jQq3BCrL-icR5UTRav_25AVWAVYRKKnFR-/s1600/IMG_0246.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyvMrK3Uf67J9aLTpRA71ECkQ1w68qv9Jjlyt1QAzBvL702nC7Zs4GXKPWCxPVk9lYCugKTFfYaCyyA_U1gcEqc9_Ko3R8hNbsmH1wE5og13jQq3BCrL-icR5UTRav_25AVWAVYRKKnFR-/s640/IMG_0246.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> The left side of the sidewalk was not planted, we did that.
