April Showers...
....Bring May Flowers!
I moved into my house a few years ago. The entire house was run down when we moved in. We've done quite a bit to fix the place up. All new windows, all new paint, new kitchen appliances, new sidewalks, new driveway....but one of the hardest things I have done personally (my dad did most of the grunt work otherwise) is build my flower bed in the front of the house. There was this sort-of rock garden in the front of the house before. I dug the entire thing up, put down the landscaping fabric and then put in the rock edging. I tried planting flowers, but to be honest I hate keeping up with it. I don't like plants and I usually kill them. So last year I planted some bulbs hoping I wouldn't have to replant every year. Well, those didn't come up. So in the fall I planted tulips and daffodils. I must have done something right because they are all coming up and some have bloomed! Here's my first successful flower!
Here's the tulip ready to bloom!
