Tulips in a Row
It has been a rainy spring (as lawn-owners, we appreciate rain on a whole new level!), but Saturday was an absolutely perfect April day. We have a lot of company coming (yay!) in the next few weeks, so we wanted to pull our yard out of hibernation and in to spring in whatever time the rainy weekend would give us.
We planned big on our trip to Home Depot, knowing we might only get a fraction of our list checked off between the expected morning and afternoon showers. Instead, the sun shined all day, and by afternoon we had given the lawn its first haircut, edged, weeded, and mulched the tulip beds we created last fall, and planted pansies near our steps.
Most importantly, we finally planted geraniums in the window boxes I've been antsy to put up since we bought the house almost a year ago. On our honeymoon, we stayed in an adorable Parisian hotel with red geraniums--in full August bloom--in the window boxes, and I don't care if it is cliche, I want Parisian window boxes this August. Thanks to George for helping us put the brackets up in November!
We were achy and sore when we woke up on Sunday, but by then the promised rain was falling hard and our house was looking so. cute. The dogwood in front is about to burst into bloom, and we are so glad to have so many friends coming to share it with us!

Pur-dee... looks great! I love the window boxes.
I love your house! It looks so cute!!! I'm planting my garden today and am very anxious to get some flowers and color around here too! Can't wait to see it all in person in a few months!
