Beautification

Bryce my watering fireman.

My new wreath I made from dollar store items. Cost $4 (I already had the wreath that I bought at Michaels with a coupon, don't remember how much I paid) I love our new wreath.

My other little garden helper

Bryce planting the bedding out plants for me. I dug the holes and he put the plants in and covered them with the dirt. Teamwork! Shanelle sat on the sidelines and babbled and coo'd us on :) She is constantly making noises and its cute to hear. 

We cleaned the front flower beds and planted some annuals to add to the perennials we already had as well as put new ones in the pots. Bryce was a fabulous helper from planting to watering. He loves to water! It was a nice morning and felt so good to get it looking nice again. 

I also put up our new wreath that I made. I'm not super crafty, but do enjoy making something now and then. 

Our lawn is doing fantastic this year, so lush and green with no dandelions. I sprayed the ones that we did have and they were gone and now we just have a nice lawn. It's the first year its been this nice since we moved here. It will be 3 years in June. Wow, time goes! Although at the same time it feels like we've been in our house for longer, probably because Raymond is home. We love it here and we love our home. (if we could just get rid of the wind, although I shouldn't complain because its always less windy in Raymond compared to out on the farm)
