You know I've complained about my front entrance for years, not enough room for guests to get in the front door without stepping back down the steps, etc. I wanted to tear it all out and redo all the brickwork, but *someone* wouldn't let me. So I went the easy, quick way and redid the landscaping. It's finished now (for the time being!) Here are some before and after photos.

You can't see them, but behind the azaleas on either side are Nikko Blue hydrangeas which I hope will peek over the tops of the azaleas next summer.
I also redid part of the back while I was at it:

And do you remember my yearning for
this trellis? Thanks to my handy-dandy sons and daughter-in-law and girlfriend:

I made sure to leave space for future purchases - like maybe in Jackson this Thursday when I go to
Summer Celebration!
