A little while ago, we tried our hand at gardening. Some of our plants so graciously given to us by the builder died about a month ago and so we decided it was time to replace them. We had absolutely nothing so we went to The Home Depot and bought shovels, gloves, mulch, moo-
neuer (
heehee funny name), and some nice plants. The old plants came out with one not so strong tug and some of them were filled with ants. I hate ants. We put in flowers, bushes, and mulch all around. Since we put them in, some of the flowers burned to a crisp and since them we have also become a lot more faithful about watering, but I think some of the flowers didn't make it. Here are some pics to document...
This was after we had torn out the old plants and were about to put in the new ones. Ben was a super gardener.

Pretty yellow flowers by the front door
Our magnolia tree - you can barely see the flowers we planted at the base of it. Some of them are still alive.
It was only our first attempt and there will be many to come!

Good job! You may win "yard of the month!" :)
I like what you and Ben did. Good job, guys! Daniel and I have yet to plant anything, and frankly, I have no desire to garden. Glad to see y'all are enjoying your new home-everything looks great!
Beautiful! I like it better when you are not teaching...more blogging and pictures of your life and love!
Yard looks great!
You can get the CVS coupons for $25giftcard with new/transferred prescription a couple of ways: 1) Sometimes they print out at the end of your receipt when you shop at CVS 2)If you have an Extra Care Card that is registered with your home info, sometimes they send them in the mail. 3) CVS takes competitor coupons, so if you can find one online, it should work. Try this one I found online http://www.couponcravings.com/2009/06/rite-aid-free-25-gift-card-with.html . It is for Rite Aid, and it says it is for a transferred prescription, but I used a Walgreens coupon for a transferred prescription at CVS about a month ago and it worked for me.
Keep in mind that CVS prices are ridiculously marked up so watch for sales. I shop there each week and buy the things that are free after ECBs. Having a giftcard is a great time to learn the whole "CVS shopping game" so that if you have to pay out of pocket you can just put it on your gift card instead of spending your own money. Good luck!
