I cannot begin this post without extending my heartfelt prayers to those affected by the tornados this past Sunday! I do not watch the news, but I was glued to the television Monday evening. There was an amazing message that resonated with every person interviewed: community, family, and faith! There are many ways you may donate and help these communities rebuild!
Spring has sprung! I anticipate this time of year. The fresh new green grass popping through, breathtaking blooms, and children playing outside…
And I love awaiting the Hostas as I watch their leaves unfold!
I just love the color green! (Can you tell?) It’s my signature color, not only for my business logo, but for our house as well!
All of the various shades of green work! I thought about adding a pop of pink but happily decided against it!
Each year the Creeping Jenny amazes me!
Its lush carpet of green has almost filled up the entire front beds on both sides! Just a few more feet, and both beds will be complete!
I enjoy taking pictures on not so sunny days! This was taken just prior to some rain yesterday. There’s a certain calmness that clouds bring about!
Although I really enjoy our front doors not being “dressed,” Mother and I are hosting a wedding shower on Sunday, and I felt this nice touch of spring would be perfect for the party! I had the best time making these wreaths this past weekend!
The ivy in the concrete pots on the front porch survived our very cold winter! I was thrilled! I’m ready for the ivy to really begin creeping up the topiary!
I kept the outdoor pillows out all winter! It just adds that fun punch of green!
The front beds at the street have completely filled in…the Creeping Jenny and Boxwood hedge! I enjoy manicuring the Boxwood hedge by hand. And to think those were pretty much baby Boxwoods when they were first planted!
In no time, the grass will be lush, and we will enjoy its glorious green once again! I hope you are enjoying this spring!
Enjoy the day!

P.S. Stay tuned on Friday when I announce something fun!
Love your landscaping, especially the beds with creeping jenny. How do you keep it in control? I planted some to fill a hill in my back yard and it keeps on getting into the grass. I placed a row of rocks at the base of the hill, but they have gone over that and into the grass.
Hi Renee! I just posted a blog entry inspired by your great question! My apologies it’s taken me awhile to respond! Good luck with your Creeping Jenny and thank you for your question! Enjoy the day!
