Landscaping

As part of Father's Day we spent the morning landscaping the front of our place.  The bushes that were out front where half dead last year, so you can imagine how good they look this year... not very. I emailed a picture to the leasing lady and asked if we could remove them OURSELVES and plant some hostas.  She said she had to ask the property manager, Tony, and would get back to us.  A few weeks later I did a follow up and asked if she had gotten a reply back and she said that he would like to come out and look at them, so not yet.  At typical Rosewood speed we didn't hear back from them until a month later when we had to go and resign our lease and we asked her what Tony said.  She said because there looks like there are a few not dead branches that he wanted to leave them, but if something mysteriously happened to them nobody would know.  So.... we got the unofficial go ahead to make the front of our place look a little nicer!

A lot of those bushes were so dead you could just grab them and tear the entire root out.  It was sad... but we got some hostas from my parents house and we planted them.  I think that it looks a lot better and with all the rain that we've been getting it's helping them dig in.  :)  It's amazing what a little landscaping and being able to do what you want with the front of your place can do.  Made me feel so much better!  :)
