Flowers, Trees, and Lights Oh My!

So, if you're on Facebook, you get my updates there and here :) but I give more information on here :)

This weekend I've planted some flowers, a palm tree, and put my solar lights in the back. I had the solar lights out front when I first moved in, but a couple kept getting taken, or they just flew away??? So, I moved them in my garage for safe keeping. Now they are in their new home!

Oh, my grass is growing so good, thick and tall! I'm going to give it another week before I try to mow it. I really want to sod to be rooted! They said to give it 3 weeks, but I'm going to give it 4 ...just to be safe!

Here's my porch, all cleaned and organized. I think I'm going to get another cute chair, and of course a new BBQ! My BBQ was $2.50 at a yard sale, and it makes funny noises when it's on, so I got scared to use it. I love getting tax refunds! This is how I've been able to do everything in the back :)


This is our garden. We're getting some blooms and sprouts popping up! So excited. I put some of my extra solar lights around just for fun

This is my new cool shed. It took awhile for us to put together, but I love having it! It's housing all my yard stuff (tools, lawn mower, and yard decorations) It's nice having the extra storage. I also put some of the lights around :)




This is my cute little palm tree! It's only going to be about 3 feet to 6 feet :) I think it's so cute! Along with more solar lights!

Here are my new flowers. It's a really bad picture, but I have lilacs, lemon bottlebrush, and a honeysuckle :) And of course...more solar lights!

I wish everyone could come see it! It's awesome! I know I'm bragging, but I love it! Compared to what my house was like when I first saw it (I didn't even want to put an offer on it because it was so bad) I love it! The house was a diseaster and disgusting. The yard was horrible and full of crab weeds. I hated being out there...now Lucky and I like to be out there.

The only things I have left that I really WANT to do are 1) Paint the entire outside (this will be coming within the next 2 weeks and 2) Paint my laundry room (this won't be done until I have to get a new washer and dryer. I don't want to move everything out and back in. :)
