Playing in the Yard
I’ve been working on a few projects in the yard. First up, a status check on that front flower bed: Last year’s drought was tough on this bed so the plants that made it are real survivors. We lost all … Continue reading
Botanical Garden Inspiration
Last year one of my favorite experiences was seeing the Lantern Festival at Missouri Botanical Garden. The gardens are always beautiful but the lanterns were gorgeous pieces of art in a beautiful landscape. That last one there was so incredible. … Continue reading
Corner Flower Bed Plans
My front flower bed wasn’t the only eyesore in my front yard. I have a second flower bed that sits on the front corner of my house that is just as bad or worse. My husband and I had pulled … Continue reading
Change It Up

If you remember, my husband and I built ourselves a retaining wall. I’m happy to tell you that it’s been up a week and it hasn’t fallen down so clearly we did something right. This weekend my husband and I … Continue reading
Making a retaining wall
This past week my husband and I decided to tackle our front flower bed. It hadn’t been maintained very well before we bought the house and there were some massive bushes taking over. The garden we tackled this weekend is … Continue reading
Pin ItFlower Bed Season
I think everyone I know spent most of their weekend either outside or at The Hunger Games. Naturally I did both. My yard has suffered for years. We’ve had trees more than a century old blocking off sunlight from reaching … Continue reading
