Spring is here!!!!

Well, thanks to the hard work of my dad, my energizer bunny granny, and my hubby...

We have flowers popping up in our front yard!!! I am so excited to see all of the color they bring to our construction site of a neighborhood!

In September, my Dad worked ALL day to put in a flower bed in front of our house. He had to dig up sod and he even moved the uprooted sod to the backyard so we have a bit more grass to stand on back there. He did a great job of planting some bushes and other green plants and mulching and adding the finishing touch of a scalloped cedar border. It looks great!!

Then in October, while I was out of commision in first trimester pregnancy...Wes and my Granny planted 100 (count them 100!!) assorted bulbs in the midst of the bushes and green plants my Dad had planted. I really didn't think we could get all 100 of them in that one bed, but we did!! The nice thing about this assortment is that the flowers come up at all different times of the spring and summer so we will have pretty things to look at for months on end! And they will come back next year (hopefully) without me having to do much work at all!! We will have tulips, irises, crocuses, daffodils, hyacinths, alpine whites and I forget what else. I can't wait!! Here are the first few signs of spring in our Alabama yard.
