If you seek attention:

Make some drastic changes to your front yard.

people will notice.

and come to watch you work.

they might even take your picture.

they will definitely say it looks good.

even if they don't like it.

People are just like that.

but that's ok cause I do the same thing.

and those jeans I'm wearing...super uncomfortable.

even for gardening.

they're going in the D.I. bag

So way back a few long months ago, I decided to get busy and improve my landscape. You remember the front yard? No? Well it had problems.

First:

The beds were too high against the house. So I removed a little soil. Only it turned out not to be soil. It was rocks.

It was annoying.

Second:

There were only flowers in the bed. and one shrub I planted last year.

I added three chokeberry bushes and a Japanese maple.

Then I moved the spirea and my awesome friend helped me get some landscape rocks. And viola! One side down, one to go:)
