Because honestly other than having the rest of the siding on the front, the paint doesn't look much different than the siding did. But it is painted, and looks wonderful. The garage door will arrive Monday morning, the trench has been dug for electric and all the fixtures have arrived. Now we've got a couple of appointments set up to get some bids for replacing the driveway (gotta love unexpected expenses!).So since I only have one garage pic, how about a peek at what is starting to bloom around the house.
The azaleas are getting ready to burst. This is the big purple one next to the driveway. Maybe it will soften the effect of the huge blue dumpster that is still there.
The multitude of hostas are starting to pop up. That was one thing I loved about the beds around the house when we first looked at it. I've got a bunch of spots where I'd like to plant some more - I really like these plants.
Tulips are starting to replace the fading daffodils.
The nice little grove of grape hyacinths next to the big tree in front of the house. You can see a red azalea getting ready to bloom right behind them.
This bleeding heart surprised me and showed back up this year. I thought it had died away, but I guess it is truly a spring plant. As soon as we get everything off the deck and back into the garage (and I can find a shovel) I'm going to move this little guy.
This is why I need to move him. He's that lone plant in this barren bed in front of the house. This is the year we are going to make those go away and just extend the grass all the way to the sidewalk. Now if Jim and I can just stop arguing about whether to keep the corner beds in the front with all the beautiful tiger lilies...

Wow, things are looking different!
Oh, I'm so glad to know the name of grape hyacinth. We have a patch that comes up every spring in our front yard. I love your hostas too. I think we have too much clay to get them to grow well here.
