Spring Projects

Evan just completed a stellar backyard landscaping project. We just recently had a deck added on to the back of our screened in porch. Evan designed and created by hand the landscaped border that runs around the perimeter of the deck. He used a special saw and cut each piece to fit. After creating the wall, he hauled several truck loads of dirt to fill the space. Once the soil was ready, he planted 5 Encore Azaleas'.  A side note- if you are in the area and are ever looking for a great place to buy trees or bushes, visit Olive's Tree Farm in Fuquay Varina. Hands down better than anything you would ever buy at a Lowes or Home Depot. They are healthier, greener, and offer much more variety in color. Also, they are so friendly. I loved the farmy, down to earth, ride on Gators, and let the dogs roam free feel of it. (Not to mention so did Ethan!) So here are a few pictures...

 

Note that the area closest to the fence we will be planting a Crate Myrtle when they are ready to be planted. The ground is still too cold.

 

 

 

 

I don't think the pictures do the project justice. Evan did such a great job. The wall is at least a foot tall and required a lot of stacking and sawing.

 

 

Already in bloom! They will bloom all of spring, part of summer, and all of fall. They bud a deep purple, but bloom a lilac color.

 

 

Another sweet sign of spring...look what we stumbled upon in our back yard....

 

 

Baby bunnies!!!

 

 

I hope that everyone enjoys this week of beautiful spring like weather! It's been long overdue! I also hope these baby bunnies make you smile as much as they did me!
