We crossed more projects off our list this weekend -- the weather was just perfect for working outside! Back in December, you may recall that someone ran over our mailbox and one of our bushes at the end of the driveway. Well, the bush wasn't recovering very well so we decided to cut it down and put it out of its misery. In fact, due to our (compulsive) need for things to be symmetrical, we cut down both bushes at the end of the driveway and replaced them with some potted flowers. Thank goodness for Mark's 'Saws-All'! I don't know if that's how you spell it but it's a magical tool that can cut through just about anything. (Please note that I am not intentionally trying to sound like Billy Mays.) We planted grass seed too, hoping to fill in where the bushes once stood, may they rest in peace.
If you look closely in the above photo, you'll see that the grass is really growing in by the sidewalk and around the trees! Especially if you stand at the end of the driveway by the road, there's a kind of optical illusion that occurs that makes it look as though the grass has completely grown in, even though it hasn't. But it gives us hope that it WILL happen!
And here's a close-up of the potted flowers and the new lights we put on the three light posts. It was driving us crazy (that need for symmetry thing again!) that the lights on top of the poles didn't match. But now they do! (please don't judge us ....)
