After two long years of blood, sweat, and tears (on David's part, not mine...), we won our HOA's Yard of the Month!!! Our landscaping has gone from this.....taken the day we signed the contract to buy the house in mid-June 2008....
To this....taken soon after we moved into the house in late-June 2008...
To this....after we got the masonry work done in March 2009...
To this....after we planted geraniums in the front bed and tore out the two crepe myrtles that were planted right-up-next-to-the-house (you know, so close that they would someday cause us foundation problems) and replaced them with azaleas.
To THIS........
YARD OF THE MONTH JULY 2010!!!!
Of course bragging rights are the most important part of the yard-of-the-month designation, but we also got a $25 gift certificate to Home Depot (to be spent on landscaping supplies, I'm sure). David's pretty excited. He works really hard in the yard each week and deserves the recognition!!
