Good Morning! I missed writing last week. We are on the count down to two big graduations. My oldest graduates this Saturday from Murray State with her Masters and our youngest in a week from High School with honors. To say the least we have been busy......
But...on to what a difference a year makes. We bought the house in AR, Aug 2011 and last Spring, I started dividing plants that I had here and carrying them over to improve the landscape. We made a FAST trip over for one night on Friday and everything is looking so Pretty!

| Fall 2011, No Grass, Bushes overgrown, and Ugly shutters! |
Do you see the concrete sidewalk ^ gone and a place for new stone sidewalk left when we laid sod.
 |
| 2012- New Shutters, new deck, bushes cut back, hostas & day lilies planted |
 |
| New sidewalk! Yes I like this better. |
|
 |
| 2012- Pretty bare- See last picture, blocks are now gone. |
 |
| I added some good home grown horse manure! 5/13 |
|
 |
| Stained the deck 5/13 |
 |
| Plants are looking GREAT! |
 |
| Removed the retaining blocks. I like it better this way! |

It has now, actually been a year and half, two Springs and one Summer. What a transformation a yard can take in a short amount of time. I didn't have the resources to go out buy new landscape. I divided plants in my yard here and swapped for plants to use in this yard. The landscape didn't cost a thing!
