Lexie's Landscape Project

This past weekend William, my mom and I all headed up to B-ham to visit Aunt Lexie. Our mission: to completely re-landscape her front yard. I tried to be professional and even had everything drawn to scale when we arrived. Thursday night, Alexis and I dug up grass where the new beds would be. We did as much as possible, since the weather predicted storms on Friday. Friday morning my thighs were feeling the burn. Friday afternoon when Alexis got off work, we rushed to buy plants and somehow managed to get them all in the ground just as a few raindrops started falling. We hurridly put down pine straw and when we were almost finished the bottom fell out. It started storming and even hailed! What perfect timing. Luckily, we didn't even need to water. God took care of that for us! Here are some before and after pics. Check out Aunt Lexie's blog for additional pics...

You are a master designer in my book. The pool patio can be your next project so start making your design plan. Loved being with my babies and my GRAND baby.

You did a great great. Will you please design and plant our bushes? :) for a small fee of course.

Look at sweet William just sitting on the porch. Enkoy these days because they are soon to be over! The yard looks great.
