Most of our house attention has turned outdoors the past two weeks. The weather has been fantastic so it was time to do some planting. Nate and I both enjoy yard work.

We planted three hydrangea bushes and two Little Henry bushes along our garage.

We’re pretty scientific when it comes to landscape planning. We measure the length of the area that needs covered. We head to Lowe’s and find plants that fit the sun requirements on the area (shade in this case). We like a little variety so we chose two different kinds of plants. We then check out how large the plants will be at maturity and buy enough to cover the length needed. This landscaping stuff is tough.

I’m pumped about the hydrangeas. They were in my wedding bouquet. I’m usually not sentimental about that girl junk but the wedding bouquet and hydrangeas still get me.

The backyard is greening up nicely.

I planted some impatiens in the back. These things have gone crazy back here the past two years. The back patio, however, could use still use some love.
