May Flowers

......we better get some after all these dang showers!!

With this being our first house, we're just cutting our teeth on how to take care of it. Thankfully my mom and Joel's dad are both really, really handy gardeners - so we're learning from the experts.

The first order of business was to chop down this eyesore of a bush.

Well, actually, the first, first order of business was to get the exterior door painted black. When we first moved in, and all through the winter (Since it was too cold to paint), I was working with a tough orangy-red cracked door.



Finally, April arrived and I was able to get the door painted. 


The tree was overgrown and dying, so Joel's dad finally chopped it down and it made such a difference.


My mom and I are going to add some smaller bushes and flowers in the coming week, but in the interim, my mom helped me get my planters filled.


And now that the tree is gone, you can actually see them! 


I've got a long way to go, but my mom assures me that I'll soon become addicted.


 

Now, here's hoping I can keep these plants alive!
