Our landscaping project is done (if there is such a thing as "done" when talking about yardwork). Josh worked really hard all of last week, and I joined him yesterday (while Mom watched the kids) for the final push. Again, here is a before picture of our house. This was taken last summer, which is why the grass is green.
Here is a picture of the whole thing. It doesn't look like very much, but hopefully the plants will get a lot bigger during the course of the summer.
The right side. Plants we used on this side include: Texas Mountain Laurel, Texas Sage, daylilies, blackfoot daisies, various lantana, bulbine, dwarf yaupon, verbena, aztec grass, and a dwarf wax myrtle, which is still coming. Also included in the plans are a row of daffodils, but it was too late in the season to plant those. I'll put those in in the fall (or whenever you do that).
Here on the left side are white oleander, artemesia, Laura Bush petunias, bicolor iris, more lantana, more dwarf yaupon, more plantation rose verbena, more daisies, more aztec grass, and a dwarf crepe myrtle.
I realize that most of you look at this website to see pictures of the kids, so I apologize for all the boring yard pictures!

Actually, I was getting pretty anxious to see the new beds. I checked a lot yesterday (the curse of having internet at your fingertips, I guess) to see if you had gotten pictures up yet. They look really good! So, when did Laura Bush get some petunias named after her?
I wondered about the petunias, too! haha! I gotta admit that pics of the kids are more fun, but I am pretty impressed that yall got the yard work done with the 2 little munchkins! We just do what it takes to keep our decently mowed! It was good to see your mom at church today, but we didnt get to talk very long bc I was in a rush to pick all my kids since clint was home w/ micah.
anyways, the yard looks great!
Great job! I know you'll love having all those pretty plants to greet you each time you pull up in front of your house. Just makes it look more like a loved home.
Doesn't it feel great to have it done. We are working on a project too and it is almost complete.
I know that was a ton of work but it looks great. I miss having a nice yard. I know ya'll are proud of it and by the way, I like knowing what's going on in your life too...not just the munckins!
Erin: This is going to be so beautiful!! I know you are going to love it, even in it's "growing" stages at the beginning. Don't forget the Miracle Grow! Ginny
