Home Improvements

It's been a busy summer, we've been busy working on the landscaping around the front of the house. First, Steve and I installed a new paver walkway and steps up to the front porch. Then we had landscapers come in to redo the beds with new shrubs and plants. It looks much so much better already! Most of our Labor Day weekend was spent working on our front lawn (or should I say Steve's weekend as my involvement was very limited). Our grass was totally weeds so Steve dug up the whole lawn and then re-seeded it with new grass seed. I can't wait to see the final results, I'm not sure I want to see our water bill though. We did get to go to Candy and Tom's for a party and some swimming on Labor Day so it was a good end to our weekend.

I love to laugh! Steve must have just hit himself with a hammer, she seems to enjoy that sort of thing, I bet she's going to love the Three Stooges when she gets older.




Steve raking our dirt lawn, we'll probably be buying sod in the spring when none of this grass grows.


The place is starting to shape up. By the time we're retired it'll be nice.


Our front lawn, or lack of our front lawn.

Here are a couple of before pictures for those who have forgotten what the place used to look like.

This one is circa 2003, before we had even moved in.


Here is what it looked like before we had the driveway re-paved last year.
