Your front yard is wonderful. It's my dream front yard - no grass, gravel walkways, a charming fence all around and plants galore.

Your front yard always looked nice to me even before the make-over, but through the fence, arbor, and gate your house has won so much more curb appeal in my eyes. It is charming already and when it is all painted white and the plants are in it will be breathtaking. Great job of your FIL and your husband! You are lucky that they are so handy!<br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-30485036556581437862011-03-16T20:37:36.203-07:002011-03-16T20:37:36.203-07:00Everything is drowning here, too.
