House

We have been blessed to have gorgeous weather and Josh was even able to get a few days off work. We tackled gutters, raised flower bed, and finishing installing shutters Josh made last year. We still have a few down down spouts to put on other than that gutters are done. Josh sprayed the flower bed to help the dirt settle and didn't think about the mud and us needing to finish. After two dump truck loads of dirt and approx. 500 castle wall bricks we are almost done with the flower bed. We are waiting on the dirt to settle before we plant Crape Myrtles(watermelon red), Indian Hawthorne, Gardenias, and Lorapedlum. Then maybe even a few colorful flowers, after we see how weed management will be. The second load of dirt was filled with grass. As you can imagine we weren't two happy after spending two days getting every smidgen of grass gone before we started! Praise God for the tractor it really helped cut down our work load! Even if it did mess up my after shot of the house below. :)

After Right Side.

Right side. This side of the house was not only higher but had a longer wall as well. I think Josh did a great job with the transition. We plan to plant something to drape over this corner where the bed turns near the porch.
