Husband picked up a few pieces of moss rocks from Pioneer Sand Co. last week and with the help of his dad, laid them around our front yard. I didn't think it'd make much of a difference but our yard actually looks more comfy. It's amazing what a few rocks can do to the landscape.... Continue Reading →
The Growing Garden
These are the plants in the front yard (some I have already posted photos of). The yard is not lavish or anything. The plants are scattered but I am always so captured by their colors and liveliness.

New Stem on MB Orchid & 3 Blooms on DR Orchid
[Master Bath Orchid 5.28.11] It seems like it's been awhile since I've talked about the orchids. The pink spotted one in the master bath has lost all it's flowers so I clipped what was left of the dead flowers and the top of the stems off. I was supposed to re-pot it but still haven't...

Walkway Before & After
[Husband and father-in-law working on the walkway] My husband has been hard at work putting in the walkway. Last weekend my father-in-law (his dad) helped which was deeply needed since I don't have the man-strength to do that kind of work. We are starting on the walkway. Originally, it was so that we could transport... Continue Reading →
