I'm a self proclaimed black thumb. I have nothing to brag about when it comes to gardening. Frankly, I don't like being dirty and am TERRIFIED a nasty bug will jump out at me when I'm digging around in the dirt.
Gah! Can't even think about it!
Since we've moved a lot has changed, most recently my gardening skills. Well, okay, maybe not gardening, but certainly working out in the dirt.
I had this great idea in the fall to plant 100 flower bulbs. My neighbor was planting some and suggested I get a few in the ground to enjoy this spring.
Who equates a "few" to 100? Oh! Pick me! Pick me!
It's been really warm here recently and most of them started popping up, which made Ryan and I a little anxious to add some landscaping to our front yard {we're tearing up the back in a few weeks..stay tuned}.
It was so.much.work. It didn't help that our yard is pretty much solid rock....
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on solid rock." Matthew 7:24
We take things very literal sometimes :)
After hours and hours of digging, hauling, and planting on Sunday we were finally finished....and mighty proud I might add!
Here are some before...
Before - hard to really see much of the front, but you get the idea
Can you see all my flowers blooming in the front?
The forsythia is my favorite :)
Landscaping is a HUGE job! You don't appreciate a full grown tree until you plant a little tiny one and see it covers no space! haha!
We're getting there! I say we have a pretty good start :)

It looks great! And I love the forsythia too. They're always the first sign that spring is on the way.
It looks so great Erin! Landscaping intimidates me big time. You guys look like experts!
