I Finally Have Flower Beds!

I've been working on creating the outline for my flower beds. All of the rocks have come from our yard and I have plenty more. Last week Kev's dad brought us several truck loads of dirt to go in them and the garden bed he built us. Right now I am only making two beds. This one is on the side of the house with the garage. This bed is in the front of the house beside the porch. It doesn't get much sun. Since I know very little about plants and gardening, a friend is coming over next weekend to help me pick out plants and flowers. I will post updated pictures once everything is in the ground. Our raised garden bed. It does get full sun. This picture was taken in the very late afternoon. I will have to purchase some manure soil to mix in with the sandy soil already in there I finally bought a container for our sand, rocks, and shells we brought back from Ireland. I think it turned out great. Now I can display them on a shelf somewhere.

Well... Skip forward another year and I finally had him come fix them. This is what our living area looked like for two days. Thursday they re-plastered the seams and sprayed the ceiling with texture. They placed part of the sectional back into the living room so we could watch TV. The dogs were very confused. They didn't have their normal places on the couch and there wasn't a rug either. In this picture Hatfield is sitting on the arm of the couch and in my lap.   Eddie came back Friday morning to repaint. I decided that since the furniture was out that I would wax the floors Saturday morning. We camped out in the bedroom watching Netflix that night. Hatfield is so strange that he would not come in the
