I wish I had a before picture of our old mailbox, but alas A got a little project bug on Saturday when C and I were gone for the day and we came home to a new mailbox and the old one was no where to be found. The old box wasn't horrible it just wasn't that great either. Some of you may know about my fear of sewers and sewer type grates in the walkway. For those of you that don't I have this fear of these things totally exasperated by the Stephen King franchise, mainly "It", and the corresponding movies. I have this unexplainable fear of myself or C falling into the sewer, my handbag falling open and loosing my keys wallet phone etc, or something actually reaching out and grabbing me!! So my wish since we moved in was to move the mailbox to the other side of the driveway!
We went on Sunday then and picked out some perrenials to go around it for a little landscaping and some house numbers. We are just getting around to really doing some planting around the house and designing some beds. We have lots of ideas, but not so much luck on the funds so it is a long process to get everything finished. On our old house we worked really hard and got a lot of things out of our Mom's yards since they had a lot of established plants that kept needing to be split. Hopefully when we start making some decisions on what we think we want to do we can "share" plants some more! Here's a few pictures of our old place.
It all looks great! :)
