A Wonderful Anniversary Present!

For our wedding anniversary in March, one of our favorite couples at church, Ted and JoAnn, told us they wanted to do our flowerbeds for us. As soon as the weather cooperated, they were out in my yard, making it beautiful!!

When Josh and I bought the house almost a year ago, JoAnn, Ted, and some others at the church cleaned up our yard for us, and ripped out ALL the bushes in the front (except the two tall ones on either side of the windows) at my request (they were ugly, prickly holly bushes).

So, our front yard has been "bare" ever since, until JoAnn and Ted blessed us with beautiful landscaping! It was a few days of hard work, not to mention all the plants/flowers/mulch they bought. They even filled my planter by the front door with a new flowering plant!

We love our yard!!! By the way, I forget the names of all the plants, but I do know the ones in front of the rocking chairs are twice-blooming Azaleas. :)
