Yard work

Today we worked on our yard again. This week we finished it almost completely up. We mowed and edged the lawn, fixed the brick edger around the front flower bed. Pulled up the bushes and cut back the trees. We painted the trim around the door and the storm door and stripped the old paint off the cornice piece that had fallen off of the top of the door. After all that was done, Dad came over with a car full of stuff. He had gone shopping at Home Depot for us and bought us all kinds of goodies. Once we had unloaded the car we added trim around the side garden and added a bird bath and planter. Filled the area and the front garden with mulch. Then we installed a wrought iron fence across the front of the yard fixed the broken shutter and painted and rehung the cornice piece. Oh yea, we also hung some plants on the existing plant hooks. Then it was time to clean it all up. The front of the house looks AMAZING now, like really amazing. The curb appeal has gone WAY up! Now we just have to keep working on the inside.
