The house pictured here is ours. The flower beds were the first ones that "we" actually planted. Gardening is one of my hobbies that I use to escape from the world. In our front and back yard there have been beautiful flowers and blooming trees that were already there from before we moved in. We have been here 10 years. In 2005 we decided to do some D.I.Y. upgraded landscaping in the front yard. We went to a small local garden center and picked out around a 140 plants some individual and some in six packs. I was supposed be in charge of planting them but I got really sick with respiratory problems. It took all of my energy and the plants just stayed in their six packs and pots for weeks. So one day Matt took a lawn chair to the front yard, sat me in it and said tell me where you would like the flowers planted. He planted every last one for me. It ended up being very beautiful and a huge blessing because I stayed sick off and on throughout the summer. The flowers bloomed like crazy and attracted all sorts of butterflies, birds, bees, and very colorful moths too. I was able to sit on my front steps and enjoy the whole world right there in my flower garden. My husband Matt is definitely my best friend.
