Mothers Day




This year for Mothers Day, Mike kept asking what I wanted. For years I have hated my front flower bed, so I told him all I wanted was for him to rip it out and up and make it so I never have to take care of it again. I gave him my design how I wanted it and I even told him I would help with the manual labor. I worked my tail off.......but he really worked his off. It took him 2 days of working all day. I am just so mad that I did not get a before picture of it. It was so pathetic and ugly. The brown spot in the lawn is where Nathan spray painted the lawn and then lite it on fire!!! Look how beautiful it is now!!!!!!! I just love it. He told me next year he will not ask me what I want again and will just get me a big flower basket!!!!
We then went up to my Moms and surprised her for Mothers Day. She had no idea that we were coming and when she got home from church we hid on her deck and jumped out when she got out of the car. We had tin foil dinners ready to eat. Fun day! This is me and my cute Mama!!! I love her.

Hey Darlene...your yard looks great! A before and after pic would have been fun! I want that planter if you still have it? If we ever get warm enough weather to plant flowers geeze!

Your yard looks great. Good for you for telling Mike what you wanted. Even better that he followed through with it.
