I finally got underway with a front flower bed project that I have talked about for years. About 10 years or more ago I started planting English Ivy and hoped it would cover the very shaded front yard. This partially worked but I was tired of the way it looked and the bare spots that would never end up covered with ivy. This frustration and need for a place to be in the front yard so the kids could play led to the new make over. I did not think to get before pictures of everything but will post the ones I did take.
First project:

| Only before shot of the area |
|
 |
| The boys bought me this gnome for my birthday |
 |
| Phillip picked this rock up from someone who was trashing it. | |
|
I still need to work on this area but needed to clean up a spot in the backyard to move some of the existing plants back there. During this limbo time as I wait on Phillip to finish the deck and screened porch before I can move the plants I started other front yard projects.

| This is the before of the area under current renovation | |
|
 |
| "helpers" |
 |
| It needed footprints |
 |
| It was getting dark so I had to quit |
This was over multiple evenings as we had the time to work on it. Last night I started on cleaning up the back yard areas so I can transplant some stuff and then finish up the front beds.
