Love Grows Here

Derek and I take much pride in yard work and our landscaping. We're far from professionals, but we consider ourselves strong at making a yard look good! We were pleasantly surprised when some daffodils sprung up out front and we can't wait to see what else blooms throughout the summer on our property.

We laid 30 bags of mulch this past weekend as well as some grass seed and weed killer. In a few weeks, both the front and back yard should look great! We still need to lay some sod out front where the grass is dead by the curb. Apparently, per our neighbors, the snow trucks don't care where the road ends and our yards begin.

I also learned about my new favorite tree, the Weeping Cherry Tree. On Sunday we noticed this sucker was beginning to bud and were taking bets on how many weeks until it was fully bloomed. Then we woke up Monday morning to this amazingly bloomed, beautiful tree! (Close-up below). They seem to be very common around here and I love them!
