I wish I would have taken a before/before picture of the front yard. The day we moved into the house there was snow on the ground so we didn't get to really see what a what a yard looked like until all the snow melted. The one thing I totally hated was the the big red mulch, so Tom and I removed that a few weeks ago along with all the dead plants in the front. They previous owners had never had flower beds in front of the house, just weeds and trying to get all those weeds out, was a pain! So, now over this holiday weekend we are trying to get the front yard all done. This morning we ordered all the river rock and it will be delivered sometime next week. Then came the fun part of picking out all of our plants. We were very lucky that the previous owners had a landscaper draw up some plans but never had the work done, so since we had the plans we when with that and just did the work ourselves. I got most of the plants planted today except for the PJM's and Sedums in front of Matt's window. For Mother's Day Thomas bought me the planters in the front and I really enjoyed planting them this evening. The plan for tomorrow is to lay the landscape fabric down, finish cutting out the front flower bed and planting the plants. I wonder how much we'll get done!

Callie, it looks good! I would suggest to mimic the curves of the patio, that you swoop the grass a bit in front of the windows to make it match. Other than that, it looks awesome. Can't wait to see it with the river rocks. :-)
