Summer 2009
Last June, we hired Melissa from Fiddlehead Landscape to draw a landscaping plan for our house. Eleven months later, it's {almost} finished! Things move frustratingly slow around here, but I so appreciate that David likes to do them right. I don't know if it's the midwestern or the diy in me, but I do have some of my dad's caulk-happy, duct-tape-loving tendencies, so David keeps me in line.
Here are some progress photos.
Plants arrive!
Laying everything out first.
Getting started!
And a few details...
Mulched around the trees. Looking forward to having a hammock there someday!

Added some trailing annuals above the rocks, white impatiens, and sedum.

Added one more stepping stone beneath the spigot.

Wow! Lookin' good! After we planted (two) pots of annuals, mowed, swept porch, staked tomatoes, and stood back to admire the look, I turned to Nate and said, "Cute place, I think I could live here." He rolled his eyes, but I thought it was a great moment.
