Everywhere a Sign

I paint silver trays with chalk board paint for leaving messages with chalk around the house. This time I used white paint so it could sit near one of the fairy gardens outdoors.

Years of collecting treasures are now showing up in the garden and around the deck and patio.

  

Landscape Renovation Nearing the End

I am very pleased with the renovations to the front landscaping. We replaced the colonial blue color on the window boxes, shutters and garage door to black. The new blue on the front door made a nice finishing touch. The color is called Raindrop from Sherwin Williams.

As of 5/20/14 we have filled 101 paper yard waste bags with landscape debris. The city has been here numerous times with the chipper shredder to pick up limbs and branches.

We removed the grass under the large Honey Locust  and added a small stone wall to create a Hosta garden. The roots of the tree where getting hit by the lawn mover and there was damage the base of the tree from continued weed whacking. The ivy is gone and grass seed is starting to grow.
