Sunday Project -- New Flowerbed

On Sunday we decided to finally start working on our latest home-improvement project -- a new flowerbed in the front yard.

This has been on our list for quite some time now and now that the weather is starting to get cooler we decided that there was no better time than the present.

Just a week ago we managed to get our old hand-me-down roto-tiller running for the first time. To test it out, Er!c decided to till the front part of our yard in preparation for the new flowerbed...

So after a long day of shoveling dirt, hauling 8 ft. 4x4 boards, cutting them to the appropriate length, hauling plants, potting soil, and digging holes for the new plants... we were exhausted and very sore! (Two days later and I am still limping around with aching muscles).


...but our front yard is starting to look MUCH nicer! :)
