We finally did some planting out front, after saying we'd do it for over a year. I think since we thought we wouldn't be in this house much longer we kept putting it off, not wanting to improve too much on a place and then leave. But now that it looks like we'll be here a while, I really wanted to spruce up. Nothing flashy or expensive...we just picked out a few simple shrubs and flowers. The kids enjoyed "helping" Dave dig and plant, and enjoyed even more when he "watered" (read: watered the kids). Spring weather has been so nice and we're enjoying spending a lot more time outside these days. Hopefully we'll get in a picnic this week with Nathan in town visiting.
