What a weekend! We've been hard at work on part 2 of our yard makeover! You can check out Part 1
here. This weekend it was all about the front flower beds....and man, did they need some work! Thankfully, we had an extra hand - my amazing mother-in-law who also happens to have quite the green thumb!

| hey ava!! |
We started Saturday by cleaning out what remained in the beds after last weekend. It wasn't much more than some weeds and some tulip bulbs, but either way we got it all cleaned out! The next step was to even out the soil.
 |
| good work Keeney! |
After the beds were even, we laid out some bed liners. According to Ava, these are great for keeping out weeds, but most importantly for making sure the mulch and the soil don't mix thus making your mulch last longer. who knew?!

| master gardener - hard at work! |
 |
| i had no clue about the greatness. |
 |
| part 2 is well underway |
The weather was so nice outside that the day actually went by really quickly. It felt so good to be making some big progress. It also helped that we had some visitors!
 |
| Matt, Laura and Payton stopped by! |
 |
| how cute is he? Chubbs and Rowdy's new BFF |
After we got the liners down, we laid out the plants where we wanted. Then we cut holes in the liners and planted the flowers in just the right place.
 |
| looks like a real flower bed! |
 |
| coming together nicely... |
After we got all of the plants planted, we mulched the beds, admired all of our hard work and tossed back a few cold beers to reward ourselves!
 |
| so much better |
 |
| this makes me happy |
 |
| welcome!! |
I'm so happy with the results. Now all the front needs is a great wreath for the door and a pretty potted container like
this.
Callie, it looks fabulous!
