In with the beautiful!

Progress has been made towards having a beautiful backyard!



I was so happy to find Lavender at Lowes but
I wasn't able to find Asters...so I had to settle for those cute pink
Gerbera Daisies
And it's ok cuz by purchasing them I supported

Susan G. Komen for the Cure
It's a small start, but I'm sooo excited!
Now all we need is:

Green thumb anyone?

So I've decided our backyard needs a make-over!
We've lived in our cute little townhouse in Springville for a year now
and our little yard has remained untouched
But I want to be able to enjoy it this summer gosh darn it!
So I made a quick trip to trusty walmart to get some weed killer
and gloves...

Last fall, before all the snow, there was this big ugly, green weed that grew behind our shed. I ignored it along with the rest of the yard. But now that I'm getting
down and dirty back there I realized it's a big sticker weed!

These are all those tiny sticker things that get stuck in your feet
and hurt like heck! I have no idea how I'm ever going to get rid of all of these!

FIRST THINGS FIRST: Out with the ugly
SECOND: In with the beautiful

Here are my beautiful flower ideas:
Tulips


Lilacs

Asters

Poppies

and finally....
Lavender


So you've seen the nasty before pictures...I can't wait to show the after shots!
