Front yard must change... so must cars...

And change, and change, and change. So, as you can guess, we were tired of the front area and changed it. So, let us take a journey through time. Let us set the way-back machine to just under five years. Destination, the front yard.

Here is the original state of the house. So many memories so awful colors, yet look at the palm tree. It was lonely (and dying) so we had to get rid of it and make it into what you see below.



Well, the little white fence and all that had to go. So here is our newest project...



We didn't think fast enough to take a picture before we got the pond in, but here it is anyways. :) And I am about to spray the sand down to pack it in. Gotta love FL sand.



Time to plant. Wait, we can't forget the tree. Should have some nice lemonade in a few years.



Now that the planting is done, lay the mulch and whala. New garden. I added the lighting in myself and now this is what it looks like up close and personal with nighttime mood lighting. :)



Kinda cool. Now the only thing left is where the bushes were. Anyone know how to get out stumps with killing yourself trying to do it? ~LOL~ Bushes have tree roots? Who knew?

Also, Dawn's b-day is tomorrow, so for a major b-day gift which we needed anyways as mine was dead. She got this... Happy b-day baby. It really is cool.
