Last year I spent hours out in the front garden pulling up everything that was overgrown and crazy. We planted a few things and it looked much better but there was still a ton of room for improvement. This year my mom came over and helped us make the garden look much better once again. I think it will be a few years before it looks exactly the way we would like it to but every year it gets better and better. Here are a few looks at what's going on in the front of our house.
I am so in love with these pretty lilacs! My mom found a good deal at one of the garden centres and picked these up for us. I think they look so neat with the white around the edges. I am kind of obsessed with lilacs.
Oh yeah, and Farva was yelling at me while I was taking these photos. He really wanted to come out.
Please excuse our super old, dirty windows. They need to be replaced sometime soon.
Today I get to spend some time with Andrea and I am very excited to see her and get out of the house for the day. I'm off to make myself look presentable! Have a great Thursday!

Gorgeous flower photos! I'm so excited to take you out on a birthday adventure today and to smell your lilacs. See you soon! ♥
ReplyDeleteThe lilacs are gorgeous! The first flowers are my favorite though. What are they? You have so much color.
ReplyDeleteOh I knew someone was going to ask me this! I can't remember what they are called! We just picked them up on the weekend but I have already thrown away the tag. They are a perrenial though if that helps at all.
DeleteThe first photo is diathesis. Next year when they reseed themselves,they will have the same OR new colors. Wise words from my mother. ;)
DeleteOh thank you!!! Yes, now that you've said it that sounds familiar. I knew they would come back next year but I didn't know about the possibility for different colours. That is so neat!!!
DeleteAWesome!! Thanks! These flowers are awesome looking.
Deleteoh, it's so many beautiful flower. I never see many colorful flower on my garden.

Beautiful colors! I love lilacs and geraniums - have them in my garden as well! I also love lavender! That first picture shows either a feathered or ragged pink - I just planted some of those on my patio, they're so whimsical! xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers!! I think this is my favorite time of year because everything is in bloom. LA's got some gorgeous flowering trees; I think those are my absolute favorites.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I love those lilacs with the white edges! I'm obsessed with them, too :)
