A bed of Roses!

Well the wonderful Holiday weekend is over but not without some creativity around the homestead. For several years, we've had a dirt flower bed in front of our house which until now we've had no real plans to renovate. We took a little trip to our local nursery where we've never been before to look for some flowers for the pots we put out every year. Well DW was ecstatic to find all the varieties of plants & flowers. We both decided that we could spruce up the front beds which had more moss than dirt we think! Here's a before shot.



While browsing the grounds of "TURTLE CREEK NURSERY" in Owatonna, MN. We found this rosy red mulch we thought would really "POP" the flower bed. We decided to buy enough bags to fill it in & see if our thoughts would actually work out as we had envisioned. Well, we were both pleasantly surprised at how well it was looking.
We had miscalculated, however, on how many bags we would actually need so DW ran back to the nursery just as quick as she could to pick up the remaining bags that were needed as the nursery was to close in 20 minutes. DW returned with a smile on her face & we finished spreading the mulch. We were so happy with the final outcome! Wonders never cease to amaze us about our creativity at times.


Now it's on to the next project! WooHoo.
