Febuary.... is not spring yet!

What a great surprise!

Every spring or fall it has been so much fun to boost our curb appeal. One afternoon my youngest was taking a nap so it was the 3 of us that got to see what going on! First off my husband is really tricky because he told me that Gottlob Lawn and Landscape was going to be dropping of some bushes that he had purchased. So I was thinking these were going to be some massive bushes!  

No it wasn't the bushes that were massive it was the large load of limestone rock on a pallet transferred by a bobcat that needed to be delivered. MJ really like watching the bobcat work! Actually I think we all did.

Massive Bush (one of two)

Surprise ROCKS!

It is not ever year that it reaches 60 degrees in February for several days, but when it does we decided to take advantage of it. Another thing we did was transplant our two lilac bushes. After doing some research I found out these lilac bushes prefer full sun and they were in almost 80% shade. Hopefully they wont be whining in the Kansas summer heat, because I sure will be! One thing that my husband recommended was the we  surround the two Aspen trees, the lilac bushes, and the evergreen bush in one big oval. He said that we could plant a bunch of flowers in between. This makes for one happy wife... who needs to wait a little bit before spring is truly here.

It is hard to believe that this was only one week ago where the weather was in the 60's and now it in the teens and a small layer of snow on the ground. Brrr! I don't even want to think about the windchill.
