Front Yard Progress

This spring we have made some progress in the front yard. The picture below is from late April 2011, after Brooks cut down the magnolia tree and pulled out the holly bushes.

Memorial Day Weekend 2011. After hours of weeding the flower bed. Love our new State of North Carolina garden flag!

View of the front yard now that the stump is removed. Trying to grow grass and still undecided about what bushes and trees to plant in front of the house.

Almost ready to paint and get new shutters. If only I had time to stay home and get quotes during the week!
