Yard is greening up (about 15% left to fully green), yard service is still fertilizing, post-emergent spraying, and de-weeding, I've cleaned all the windows inside and out except for the second story outside windows which I have a company coming to do, shrub and bushes growth is coming back, edging on the lawn is done, and the 3 trees in the front yard filled with leaves again.
Still left to do: when all the shrubs and bushes finish blooming back, having them all shaped, new mesh laid in the flower beds, and new mulch added, and hopefully this summer adding HOUSE LIGHTING! :) We haven't decided yet if we are going to do house lighting from the top down on the gables or from the flower beds shooting up each of the gables. But I want it bright and illuminating the house. We don't have street lights and since we are in the center of two coves, it's a little unnerving to pull into a primarily dark house at night. I'd love tree lighting on these 3 trees in the front yard, too.
And I'd love some color (flowers) in the flower beds in the front, but they are so full with the bushes and shrubs, I can't decide what to plant (and the flowers would have to be high enough to show over the brick beds.) I have thought about adding about 4 or 6 shepherd's crooks to the flower beds and doing hanging baskets from them, but that is probably a flower bed faux pas. I just want COLOR and the color to show!
