Curb Appeal ~

*Thanks to my sister Carrie, she has sparked my interest in this topic! LOL while I always try and make my yard and home look appealing this can always be improved right? I have to laugh at my sister using this term... you see I teased her about her house being 1/4 mile down a driveway in the woods!!! like who can see your beautiful home from the road???? Sheeeeeesh Sista, and she tells me I CAN!!! lol I gotta tell you that was a great "girls day" I had not had that much fun in ages....

*So on to MY curb appeal.... I purchased a couple mums to brighten up the front yard, hung out my Fall flags, and put away the bright spring/summer ones. I love the fall it is my favorite season. Last year I planted "mums" near my mailbox, and was blessed they reseeded and came back!!! Now thats Free Curb Appeal!!! gotta love it.

*I found this adorable plant hanger on clearance at Hobby Lobby about a month ago and never really got it hung up. Well yesterdays venture to Home Depot scored this wind chime. It sounds so pretty, I have a hearing disability and some sounds I can not hear great. This one has a nice tone that is perfect for my ears!!! I was Smiling like the Cheshire Cat sitting on our patio listening to it.

* And Kerry was working on curb appeal in a big way too! Thursday I went to lunch with my friend Nina and came home to this~ He pruned ok correct term is BUTCHERED my Forsythia bushes, they were a great privacy fence so to speak... lol well Not so much now!!

*In his defense they really needed to have this done, we have been wanting to do it for a number of years and never got to it, it was just the SHOCK of seeing it completed when I came home. I will trust that they will come back in the spring and BLOOM Beautifully.... This is what I came home to, and Yesterday we added the tiki torches and lit them up!! soooo pretty.

This photo is a portion of the branches he cut off those bushes!! We are fortunate to have the city come a couple times a year and collect these as long as they are on the "curb" by a certian date.. well that date is this week... So Kerry really was on top of this one! I love this man, he always makes me smile :-)

Today I hope to get some much needed card making done and hope to get a gift wrapped and ready to mail tomorrow, maybe a layout or two??? Hope so as I want to review my vacation memories again and again and again..

Until next time!
