Makeover

Ever since we bought our house last year, we've been wanting to overhaul the flower beds. This weekend was just the beginning. Here are some pictures of what we've accomplished so far...


BEFORE


AFTER


CLOSE-UP. Plants used: Italian Cypress (tall, skinny trees), Pink Lady Hawthornes, daisies, sweet potato vines, verbena and begonias.

Hey Lauren! I saw your blog on Kellie's too! Funny! :) I love your flower beds! I really enjoy gardening,wish I could spend more time on my beds. I was actually going to message you today, Margie asked me if there was any way I could get your address for her. She wanted to send you and Matt a copy of the picture slide show of Dave. Shane put one together for the memorial,it's really sweet. I'll myspace you my e-mail and you can just e-mail it to me if you don't mind. Thanks Lauren! Nice to get an update on the fam!

Wow! You guys did an incredible job! Maybe you and Matt could start a "side" business and that alone could purchase whatever land/building we need! Really though, it looks beautiful. Isn't it fun to drive up to your home and see it look so great?! Emma missed Audrey at church Saturday night. She was down about it all the way home! She has a "special" piece of gum, "just for Audrey":)
