my new "thing"

So I spent the better part of last week and weekend making the rounds to all the nurseries searching for plants and flowers for our front yard. I have always wanted to be good at gardening... so I decided it was time for me to give it a try. I think the first lesson to being "good" at gardening is that you actually have to enjoy it.... but maybe it will be easier to enjoy when I'm not digging 428 holes.

I planted lots of spireas, a few hydrangeas and pink potentillas, catmint, daylilies, phlox, dianthus, rose shrubs, salvia, delphinium, and lots of other stuff I can't remember!Thank you to our family "photojournalist" Katelyn for the oh most flattering photos...

And here is miss Em... wishing she could get in on a little of the "dirt" action...

The project is pretty much complete... so you will have to drive by and check it out! [Before I have some casualties!]
