outside progress...

the house is finally painted. i'm not going to lie, the color didn't turn out exactly how i thought it would, but i like it (enough). it's MUCH better than the green and yellow it was before. i took a personal day today to get the rest of the plantings done around the house, it was looking a little bare and sad, and subsequently driving me crazy. i'm very happy how it's turning out, i especially love the front porch. my mom gave me two of her old rocking chairs they are no longer using, and once i paint the bar cart the porch will be fabulous. i've had several neighbors (and some strangers) stop over and tell me how nice the house looks...

  

hydrangeas, boxwoods, azaleas, hollys and some random thing in the corner adorn the front...peonies, day lilies, catmint and a lilac tree along the driveway....vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers) to come soon...



the front porch is my favorite. the purple door, the new star, the large mailbox and the rocking chairs...
 

and hank, well, hank likes to sit on the back porch and observe...
