Our recent projects:
My husband fixed our front gate, our dog unfortunately figured out he could escape so something had to be done. Now the dog can’t get out, and it’s easy to swing open and shut and well, it just looks better too! The pic is hard to tell, but instead of the ugly orange, there's some green wire mesh so the dog can't escape!

Too bad I didn’t get a good picture of the front before we cleared it out, but let’s just say you couldn’t walk through it with so many weeds. Our decision for the front of the house- some nice gardenia plants- they are so great and green, mixed in with 3 artichoke plants and the kids picked out flowers as well. Although we’ll see if the flowers make it through winter, the kids said they didn’t care, they just wanted something pretty for right now, and so we let them! Oh and we planted a Lime Tree in the back yard too!
Funny thing about the front is that the dog really likes the dirt and the mulch- not only does he dig in it, roll in it, run in it, he likes to eat it- so we are going to be trying to 'train' him to stay out of the fenced area to let him know it’s off limits otherwise our plants will never make it!
