So far, mostly changes on the outside and not as much as we'd like, as we haven't had any funds until very recently. We hope to put in a new front walkway this year. Over winter, some soil wore away by the outer corner of the house near the driveway. Talk about garbage, we can now see there's a scattering of what appears to be shattered windshield glass where a bush had been. We're going to have to remove all the top soil to get rid of the glass. *sigh*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-45780240955957517212015-05-17T19:31:59.473-05:002015-05-17T19:31:59.473-05:00Interesting!

I'm bothered by the aesthetics of it and, too, I do most of the digging around here these days, so I have constant reminders of what was thrown out one window or another. Between the two of us, we could really rant! But, on the upside, we love the house and what we did to improve it. Were we to start from scratch, it would not look like it does now, but in a way, this is better for us because it's hard to start from scratch. I'm not sure either of us would have the patience for it! :)ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222848486174278888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-40342023367904338512015-05-17T15:01:24.629-05:002015-05-17T15:01:24.629-05:00Boy, do I know what that's like with this hous...Boy, do I know what that's like with this house!

Then, the barn burned down and though they built a second one, one has the feeling they sort of gave up and not too long after, they moved out. The subsequent owners were the biggest slobs! Everyone in the community said so. We still dig up their garbage and anything they did to the house they did poorly. ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222848486174278888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-61578474653635590402015-05-17T10:44:18.594-05:002015-05-17T10:44:18.594-05:00I blame blogger! :) Thanks for letting me know.I blame blogger! :) Thanks for letting me know.ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222848486174278888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-39397277414984299662015-05-17T10:43:56.695-05:002015-05-17T10:43:56.695-05:00It's a creeping phlox -- very reminiscent of c...It's a creeping phlox -- very reminiscent of cottage pinks, but it has more of a matting habit -- which is lovely. Unusual, in that creeping phlox is typically blue-violet.
