Would You Please Paint the Trim?

Something as innocent as painting the trim on the house can lead to a cascade of home beautification projects. As promised, here are some pics of the projects! Enjoy.

Winterpast — Before

If you give your wife some painted trim,
She might notice that the front yard looks a little bare.

If she notices the front looks a little bare,
She’ll probably want some plants.

Shopping trip….
Winterpast driveway

The new flower beds across the drive are beautiful!

Once you install six yards of new bark for her,
She may notice you need ten ton of river rock for the border.

The rock pile is shrinking, but slowly.

Once the new rock is installed,
She’ll picture redwood garden boxes, perfectly placed.

Once the garden boxes are moved from garden to front yard,
She’ll definitely want them freshly stained.

Once they’re painted,
She’ll need them filled with fresh dirt.

And, what are handcrafted redwood garden boxes without custom drip irrigation?

Once the new dirt is installed,
It’ll be back to the landscaping store to buy five more yards of bark.

And to finish the job, she’ll mention that you have some left over rock for a 12″ border next to the front walk..

After six long weeks, once the front yard is in order,
You’ll step outside together with morning coffee to enjoy the back yard.

Looking at each other, you begin the new list together……

If only the back yard had new bark and neat rock borders around the beds……..

Deep sighs can be heard throughout Winterpast.

And so it goes………

Have a great Wednesday!!
