Spring, where art thou? Seriously…where?

 

Hello all!  It is me again!  I don’t know about you, but I am over winter.  OVER it.  I am tired of being inside, tired of the cold, tired of everything being brown.  I NEED to get out of the house.  I know you can relate!  My poor yard is in a pitiful state.  Some of you think I make this stuff up to have something to write about….to be “real”…because SURELY having a husband who does this for a living means our yard is the best on the block..right?  PPSHHHH!!!  WARNING – what I am about to show you is graphic.  It is NOT for the faint of heart.  And **sidebar** Peter, please do not hold it against me that I am baring the dirty truth for all …..here is what my flower beds look like right now:

Yep.  I can’t make this up.  I tried to warn you that it is BAD!!  So, if you are feeling down about the current state of your yard….fear not!!  You are in good company (if I do say so myself!).  I am, once again, all fired up to start anew.  These bad boys are going to get completely gutted and redone…and to be honest, I am excited for the challenge and ready to get some dirt under my nails.  This manicure needs to be redone anyway.  SO, outside I go!  Good thing I know the perfect place to stock up on some color!  Hope to see you soon!
