Current Projects

Today's project, although cold and windy, is planting rounded boxwoods in a row in this front flower bed area. It's blank now ( that azalea is gone ) and I got a killer craigslist deal on 11 boxwoods, so  a few will go in front, a few on the side of the house and some in back.



I also will be stocking up on Hydrangeas for the backyard, as well as  some flowering groundcover for a small spot in back.

Last night I put together a dresser, took 3.5 hours. Did I mention that I HATE putting together furniture? But I didnt screw up or have to start over at all, so I can only complain a little. Pics to come ( it's for my master, got rid of the dark espresso dressers )

Random post, I know, but it's all a part of me getting more organized in my daily life. Maybe you'll benefit from this post!
