before...








I have been working super hard on the front porch and landscape. The front porch was a mess. The paint was peeling and in some places completely worn off. We scraped, primed and repainted the whole thing.


My potted flowers are pretty much finished and adorning the steps and porch. I finished mulching yesterday and I am very happy with the way it looks. I love spring and I LOVE annuals!

My magnolia tree has some fresh blooms and a ton of buds! It didn't bloom last year so I am thrilled to see it doing so well!
Still have some work to do in the back bed. But it is coming along as well.

We even have some ripe, red strawberries ready to pick!

It looks like something out of a magazine. Seriously, love the color combinations and all of the vibrant flower color!

Good Work!
