We Crazy!

Okay, so Darren and I promised each other we were going to take a year off from doing any projects around the house (i.e. ripping out and finally re-doing the rest of the front yard). Well, today, we were at Home Depot to buy some seed and soil so we could re-seed the areas of our front lawn that have been destroyed by voles and overgrown shrubs (because that's all we were going to do this year!), and we saw two beautiful Baby Blue Spruce trees (my favorite!). They were perfect, a good price, and we just couldn't pass them up. So, they now reside in our front yard, and it looks like we'll be re-doing the front yard after all.

Good news is that it's not nearly as large of a project as the back yard was a couple of years ago. Darren is still trying to come to terms with what we've done and what it means (lots of work for him because I, unfortunately, am a wimp!)! It will look pretty when we're finished though. Here are pictures of what we spent our day doing. Say bye-bye to the grass! It'll all be gone by May!

Before'ish....


...And After - Aren't they pretty? More to come! Stay tuned!
