Beautiful views, Karma & Paul. :P We won't go there for mine. Let's just say it's in a transitory state. :wink: :lol: :lol:

Paul that is a beautiful site, thank you for sharing!! Make a person want to visit for sure!!

Ren, come on!! You have seen my total disaster of a front yard all trashed. It can't be that bad, want me to come help? I have the front done and now need to work on the back. Show us a more of that beautiful yard with all the daffs.

Here is a view looking from the bottom of the driveway into the yard where the olde tree used to be.

Paul, I love the river rock border! That is such a neat idea (which is being tucked away for future copy-cat-ing)!

Karma, I don't know how you do it! Everything looks *perfect*.

Beautiful pics, everyone. Karma, I love the edges, and the beds all look so clean and bright. Paul, I like your stone border, too. How on earth do you keep them in place?
Sam...is your front door on the rooftop? I'll have to remember to take a nap before I stop at your house if I ever get a chance to visit you, so I'll have the strength to climb up and ring your doorbell.
:lol:
Don't have any pics right now. I'm STILL trying to get through the first round of cleanup and weeding. Now the camera program on my computer is hiding. Hopefully I can get DD to look at it today and find the darn thing!
Then I'll have to find a few minutes to take pics.

We will be waiting LindaP when you put them on.

Whiskey, I have been waiting for you to find this. I just love all the work Wonderwoman does, she is inpiring!! Is that the back or the front? More please!

Paul, how do you keep the stone in place? That is a great idea along the driveway. We put some in at the bottom of the yard due to the water problems now that the big tree is gone. I need to find a different way of doing it.

Hey everyone, thanks for the kind words. Karma and Sam I am in awe, beautiful pics. Linda and Karma, the stone border was kind of a fluke. I wanted larger stone, like cobblestone to make the border, but couldn't find any so I went with eggrock. I just made a shallow trench and poured them in and they just kind of knitted together. I'm happy with the end result...but we'll see! Thanks again. :P
