Summer to-do list activity---Landscape the front yard

Our house was the one on the block that had no landscaping. Well, that's not completely true. I had planted some forsythia bushes in a unique way, but the problem was, there was nothing else around it and they just looked weird.

So, Micah and I decided that we were going to do some landscaping. We picked a weekend and wouldn't you know it, we woke up to cloudy skies. :( Big bummer. We decided that afternoon to go ahead and visit the Home Depot and work on another summer-do-list activity--organize the garage. We walked around the garden section so that we could pick out things that we do like and Micah could come back on a day-off and get everything. Well, wouldn't you know it that it became beautiful and sunny when we were walking around there?!? So, we decided to get all our landscaping things and get to work.

We rented a tiller, tilled everything, and then began to put all of our purchases out in the front yard. It was a long, tiring process, but we are so pleased with our efforts. We worked so hard, we did it in an afternoon!

It makes the house look so beautiful. Now, we are working on the fantastic (hear the sarcasm!) weeds that are popping up.
