Sprucing up the place

It's that time!! Spring has sprung and I'm ready to spruce up my front yard! I have been working A LOT (like 12-20 hours a week) of Overtime! I'm tired, but the extra cash has been worth it! I get to spend it on me and my house! I love it!

Here are my new flowers, that will go in my new pots (Big Lot find...love them) and my new potting soil. I told my parents that I'm putting my 4-H Gardening Skills to use along with my 4-H sewing skills (for my curtains)

I also purchased some pathway lights! Loving it!










These are the my new flowers before getting transplanted into my pretty pots!


My purple pot---going to spring up some yellow roses!



My red pot with my pretty yellow flowers (I forgot the name)



My brown pot with my pink roses!



My blue pot with Rosemary!


My green pot with purple flowers (and my foot)



This is Lucky taking a nap while I was gardening. I know the weeds are bad!


All my pots ready to go! Sorry a little dark!

The next day I put the pots out front. I'm going to fill in the gaps with my flowers or shrubs and maybe some colored mulch.

Getting a little color in my drab front yard!


Here are my new pathway lights!


I installed them all myself! I'm learning mad skills!
Got 2 rectanuglar pots and purple petunias!


Getting ready for the transplant!


Lucky was enjoying being outside with me


My petunias right outside my front door, I think I need one more set!


More pathway lights to the back gate!


Here it is at night! They look great, but I can't capture it on camera...so come on over and see!



I'm excited! I'm loving my front yard more and more!


Woo hoo! 2 days work and it's been worth it!
